Title
“Research heats the city!”
Abstract
To further reduce energy consumption, energy systems are developed as circular systems in which waste heat from manufacturing industries, research facilities, agriculture, grocery retailers or server halls is recovered for further use. Through close collaboration with customers, the MAX IV laboratory, ESS, building developers and municipalities we introduce smart and innovative energy solutions, such as recovering waste heat from the two research facilities, attractive and secure transport solutions with heated stops and smart lighting, and local production of renewable energy from wind power and solar panels. We hope to see a sustainable and exciting urban development where it is easy to choose a sustainable lifestyle with a high quality of life.
