Description
The search for holistic sustainable solutions directs towards developing energy-efficient urban settlements, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, and using resources in a sustainable and economical mode.
The BI aims to develop an innovative study of shallow geothermal energy systems based on multi-scale and multi-domain, interfacing three domains: the building energy system (including ground characterization and climate conditions); the district system at the urban scale (the potential of these systems scaling up from the building to the urban level); the energy storage (minimizing
Summary of the results
The search for holistic sustainable solutions directs towards developing energy-efficient urban settlements, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, and using resources in a sustainable and economical mode. Store2sustain project aimed the development of an innovative study of shallow geothermal energy systems based on multi-scale and multi-domain, interfacing three domains: the building energy system (including ground characterization and climate conditions); the district system at the urban scale (the potential of these systems scaling up from the building to the urban level); the energy storage (minimizing the seasonal effect and increasing the long-term use).
This bilateral initiative was based on the exchange of experiences (knowledge and skills) regarding the combined application of these energy systems applications (shallow geothermal energy + storage) in the context of buildings heating and cooling, at building and urban settlement scales. Therefore 2 main activities were developed towards the project results dissemination in both countries, Portugal and Norway.
The project results led to concrete recommendations and guidelines for future planning actions regarding the installation of geothermal systems to ensure conditions of sustainable use, comfort and health in buildings.
