Districts and projects with 5GDHC networks

Experiences from existing districts with 5GDHC network

The concept of 5GDHC networks for heating and cooling supply in districts is still relatively new and unknown - and this despite the fact that the technology has been successfully in use for decades. In order to increase the acceptance of 5GDHC networks, we have set ourselves the goal of making information on numerous districts that have already been implemented available to planners and decision-makers. This helps district developers to learn from experiences of past 5GDHC projects and build on the state of the art. Therefore, the table below provides an overview of implemented district solutions with 5GDHC network. By clicking on the district name, detailed information about the project can be viewed.
