Green transition in apartment buildings (GOE)

ongoing

Multi-dwelling buildings have the potential not only to switch to renewable energy, but also to contribute to the energy system. Public housing companies in Denmark and Sweden are working together on this project. Multi-dwelling buildings are an essential part of the buildings in Denmark and Sweden with good opportunities to contribute to a flexible and sustainable energy system. Technology and other central infrastructure in multi-dwelling buildings are not only possible to use for energy that comes in, but also to control and share energy. The project includes housing companies, municipalities, electricity companies and other relevant key players. The goal is to increase the housing owners’ capacity to invest in energy efficiency, energy production, consumption flexibility and the expansion of low-temperature district heating. These are solutions that support, or presuppose, the interconnection of energy systems in several different sectors. Heat distribution and the operation of multi-dwelling buildings are an important prerequisite for the expansion of low-temperature district heating. The project will provide housing companies and other partners with solid knowledge about promoting renewable energy and sharing energy between buildings. The project will also develop tools to screen housing companies’ large building holdings in order to identify which buildings may be relevant for low-temperature district heating. In addition, the project will develop knowledge of “booster solutions” that can be installed in the buildings and a best practice for technologies that support flexible energy consumption.
