LTDH

Short description

LTDH utilizing existing DH for heating of passive houses

Location

Hertings farm in Falkenberg

Country

Sweden

End users

Four multi-family passive houses

Heat source

Existing DH/Solar

Description

Existing DH (based on woodchips, pellets, bio oil, natural gas, fossil oil) that supplies HEX at consumer substation for SH and DHW (SH provided with air heating)

Cooling

Missing info

Heat source-network connection

MTDH network is connected directly to low energy buildings

Booster HP or no for SH

No (water from DH is used to heat (preheated by solar energy) air which brings heat to consumer; also floor heating implemented)

Booster HP, IHEU or DHSU for DHW

No (network temperatures high enough)
