Slide5Thermoactive structures:
economic
and social
advantages
Geothermal
Applications for Buildings and Infrastructure
High
demand
of
energy for heating and cooling Need for self-sustainable cities – Need for renewable
energySubstantial cost reductions in terms of installationEnergy-autonomous building for heating and coolingConnections or interconnections with district heating network (tunnels, diaphragm walls)« Smart thermal grids

Slide6Objectives - Outputs
Geothermal
Applications for Buildings and Infrastructure
Thermal aspects
Strengthen
the
complementarity
with
other renewable energy systemsAdapt geothermal energy concept to spatial urban
planning from building to city scaleAnalyse the interactions with other geothermal structures (thermal interferences)Structural aspectsEnsure the mechanical robustness in relation to temperature
variationsCreate EU-wide best practice rulesIdentify the advantages and the drawbacks of thermoactive structuresHomogenize the knowledge and experiences with thermoactive structures in Europe(Joint papers, Guidelines, informative annex for EN1997)
