Please note that the programme below presents an indicative overview of the programme and time slots.
DAY 1
9th September 2025
09.00 - 11.00 Arrival to Lund and check-in at hotel
09.00 - 11.00 Drop-in, technology display and mingle at Bricks
11.00 - 11.45 Official opening and introduction at Bricks
11.45 - 13.00 Networking Lunch at Bricks
13.00 - 17.00 Afternoon site visits*
Visit 1: E. ON ectogrid at Medicon Village, 5GDHC system, with front-end heat pumps The first visit is to Medicon Village, a life science hub within Lund’s Ideon Science District. Here, E.ON’s ectogrid system has replaced conventional district heating (DH) and cooling (DC), introducing a more balanced approach to thermal energy. The system uses heat pumps to cool laboratory freezers and premises, while reusing condenser-side heat for heating. A thermal accumulator helps align heating and cooling needs, with additional support from large air-to-water heat pumps. Medicon Village remains connected to conventional DH and DC networks as a backup. |
Visit 2: Kraftringen, Brunnshög - cooling to one customer, reuse of heat and 4GDH heating to new customers Kraftringen, the local energy provider in Lund, supplies process cooling to the scientific laboratories at MAX IV—comparable to the cooling systems used in data centers. A series of medium-sized heat pumps deliver the cooling, and the waste heat they generate is recovered and upgraded via a second set of heat pumps. The resulting heat, raised to 60°C, is distributed through a fourth-generation district heating (4GDH) network serving the newly developed residential area of Brunnshög. |
17.00 - 17.30 Summing up and discussion
18.30 - 19.00 Welcome drink at Motel L
19.00 - open end Networking Dinner
*Transportation by bus in rotating groups, please follow respective group lead
