Results
- Sanquin cooling by raw water realized
- Houthaven comfort cooling realized
- Amount of renovated (residential) buildings: 76000 m2
- Amount of dwellings connected to a smart grid: 10000
- Innovative collective drainage network for a significant density of highly energy performance groundwater heat pumps realized
- Development of two roadmaps to carbon neutrality
