City-zen’s projects

		Comfort cooling residential buildings in Amsterdam Houthaven district Sustainable district heating and comfort cooling for newly built apartments in the Amsterdam Houthaven district. More info
		Collective drainage for optimal performance of groundwater heat pumps in dense area Highly efficient energy buildings require innovative technologies. In this case, the selected technology : geothermal heat pumps could not be applied straight forward in Presqu’île, a particular area of Grenoble. More info
		Smart cooling and heating systems for pharmaceuticals processes Application of using cold from the public drinking water infrastructure and heat from district heating in pharmaceutical processes. More info
		Neighbourhood bio refinery : producing nutrients and heat from waste Waternet will implement a neighbourhood bio refinery, a small scale treatment unit in which raw materials (nutrients such as phosphate) and energy (biogas) can be recovered from black waste water. More info
		Minimal footprint district heating thanks to lower temperature, PCM storage and local solar energy Heating buildings via a collective District Heating network powered by sustainable sources is often the most economical and realistic option for cities to work towards their COP21 targets. Grenoble already has one of the most extensive heating networks in France. This is a high pressure/high temperature network. More info
