RESCUE (Renewable Smart Cooling for Urban Europe) project aims to address the key challenges for the further development and implementation of district cooling using low and zero carbon emitting sources, thereby enabling local communities to reap the environmental and economic benefits of this energy efficiency technology.
The workshop will be one in a series to be delivered in the project’s target countries: Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Poland, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The workshops are aimed primarily at local political decision-makers who guide the climate and energy work and/or urban planning strategy of the municipality, and technical staff working in the district cooling systems, buildings and energy sectors.
This workshop aims to ensure exchange and knowledge-sharing on topics such as the economic feasibility of district cooling projects, recommendations and experiences on how to make pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and funding opportunities for district heating and cooling to meet the challenges of growing energy need in UK and Europe.
