ROYAL HEATING – Energy Efficiency retrofit of historical buildings

You are invited to a Heat Academy master class in Stockholm on 5^th February. The session will address the opportunities and challenges in retrofitting old and historically sensitive buildings e.g. with district energy and modern energy efficiency solutions. Up-grading old housing stock is a high potential area for investments in decarbonising cities. However, it can prove to be a challenging and costly process. There is much to gain for all parties in establishing collaboration in sharing experiences and replicating best practice. Sweden has a long and proven experience in installing and operating competitive district energy and energy efficiency solutions, and has in the process developed a unique know-how and a tool-box of solutions, which could be of value for other countries now addressing the same topic. At the master class we will be highlighting cost effective and scalable technologies, practices and business models making it viable – technically, politically and commercially – to retrofit energy efficiency solutions and district heating to old and historically sensitive buildings. The programme will involve study visits of relevant buildings.

The workshop is organised by the Heat Academy in collaboration with Smart City Sweden.
