MORNING SESSION
Location: BRICKS Lund, Mobilvägen 12
08:00 – 12:00 Three Parallel Study Visits (Rotating sessions within a 1 km Radius)
Delegates will rotate between three closely located sites in Lund, showcasing different approaches to integrated heating and cooling, low-temperature district energy, and local energy sharing systems.
i) Energy Centre – MAX IV Laboratory
• Martin Gierow, Product Manager, Kraftringen
Explore the integration of heating and cooling as interconnected systems, including cooling supply to the MAX IV Laboratory and 4GDH solutions for the Brunnshög district, a mixed urban area with offices and residential buildings.
ii) Brunnshög District – Motel L energy central with district heating and cooling
• Holger Feurstein, Project Manager, Kraftringen.
References to the world’s largest 4GDH network, just across the street.
iii) Medicon Village – Ectogrid System
• Gustav Adolfsson, Senior Technical Solutions Manager, E.ON.
Showcasing local energy sharing through heat recovery, combined heating and cooling, and thermal storage within a 5GDHC system.
