The Minewaterproject Heerlen - low exergy heating and cooling in practice

In Heerlen, the Netherlands, warm and cold water volumesfrom abandoned mines will be used for heating and cooling of buildings, based on a low exergy energy infrastructure. The combination of low temperature heating and cooling emission systems, advanced ventilationtechnologies and integrated design of buildings and building services provide an excellent thermal comfortand improved indoor air quality during 365 days/year, combined with a CO2 reduction of 50% in comparisonwith a traditional solution.
