In a revolutionary move, the Association of Swiss Communes, in collaboration with the Union of Swiss Cities, the Conference of Cantonal Energy Directors and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, has launched an online library.
Switzerland has always been at the forefront of innovation in sustainable technologies. In a groundbreaking move, the Association of Swiss Municipalities, in collaboration with key players such as the Union of Swiss Cities, the Conference of Cantonal Energy Directors and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, has launched a groundbreaking initiative: an online library dedicated to thermal network planning. The initiative, which stems from a charter signed in summer 2022, aims to accelerate the development of thermal networks across the country.
Thermal networks are essential for a successful and sustainable energy transition. However, their planning and implementation can be complex, involving various technical and financial aspects. The new online library offers a solution to these challenges by providing a coherent set of tools and methodologies, supporting professionals at every stage of the process - from feasibility to implementation.
The library is a comprehensive resource that includes :
The library was developed as part of the "Accelerating the development of heat networks" program. It benefits from contributions from representatives of municipalities, cities, cantons and the federal government, ensuring that it is constantly updated with the latest advances and knowledge in the sector. Future additions, such as a guide to financing thermal networks and a compendium of solutions for managing gas infrastructures, are already in the pipeline.
This online library is not just a tool for professionals. It symbolizes Switzerland's commitment to a collaborative and innovative approach to energy and environmental management. It reflects a vision in which technology, expertise and cooperation come together for a more sustainable future.
