Following the Path »from 3rd to 4th Generation DHC Networks« in Belgium

摘要

The idea of organising a Summer School on district heating and cooling in the country where the market share of district heating is barely 1% might seem ambitious. There are only very few district heating networks in operation in Belgium. The reason for this low share of district heating is the existence of a very extensive natural gas network. More than 90% of all households are connected to the gas network for heating. Nevertheless, 23 participants from 12 European countries were thrilled by this challenge and gathered in Genk at the end of August for the 5th edition of the International DHC+ Summer School.
