14th REHVA HVAC World Congress

The REHVA World Congress CLIMA is leading international scientific congress in the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

From now to 2030 the world of HVAC will change radically. Fuelled by irreversible influences, the current demands on climate installations will change completely. CLIMA 2022 will focus on 5 themes related to this massive transformation that is on the horizon: Energy, Circularity, Digitization, Health & Comfort and Learning & Education.

In this congress we will count with experts about the named topics and will also participate our partners of the Energy division, among them Alejandro Martin Crespo, who will do a presentation about the SunHorizon project.

The congress will develop at Rotterdam cities during 22-25 May.

FrontSH1P Workshop: How to build a low-carbon climate resilient future for cities and regions

Given the challenges connected to the transition towards the circular economy, working together at the European level beyond the individual projects will take the impact of projects to a new levels.

EcoFISHent, Circular Foam, Agro2Circular and FRONTSH1P projects have decided to create a common cluster: “LOOP” and thereby to establish intensive and long-lasting collaboration in the upcoming years.

During LOOP workshop, questions inherent to circular economy concepts in regional and local economies resource cycles and the possibility to create circular and sustainable ecosystems, active participation, and involvement of citizens to achieve circular design innovation will be answered.

To reflect the need for a multi-stakeholder approach, the keynote speakers of the event will be leaders and representatives of circular systemic solutions, technical demosntrators of the circular economy, European Green Deal policymakers and representatives of the Circular City and Region Initiative.

Deep Retrofit Community of Practice: Highly ambitious regions and projects across Europe

Next 2nd June SunHorizon project, in which CARTIF takes part, will participate in the event about deep retrofit community of practice organized by EHPA.

As part of the SuperHomes2030 project, a “one stop shop” deep retrofit service for domestic homes in Ireland, that aims to dramatically scale this service over 3 years, increasing completed retrofits from 100 houses in 2019 (€6M) to 500 houses in 2023 (€36M). This online seminar brings together Ambitious Regions and alredy running Renovation and One Stop Shop EU Funded Projects, to offer a complete outlook for the sector: from up-skilling, policy, implementation, examples and future development.

Moreover, it looks at replicating and expanding upon the work of diverse actors, while driving the innovation and implementation of the deep retrofit sector and the associated value chain of stakeholders.

Low-Temperature DHC as a Key Solution for Decarbonising the Heating and Cooling Sector 

The REWARDHeat project is organising a 3-day event in Helsingborg, Sweden. The main conference takes place on Thursday, 16th June with a morning session on “Samrt DHC Networks” that will explore the technology combinations that are likely to supply heat demands in the future, with best practice examples from the Nordics. The afternoon session will focus on the “REWARDHeat DHC Investor Perspectives”. The project seeks to turn low-temperature DHC networks into a new asset class, making modern district energy solutions a profitable investment opportunity, while contributing to the achievement of EU climate targets. International examples will be compared with the Swedish case, where the DHC market is highly competitive.
