The aim of the project is to reduce the fossil energy demand of DH systems and to integrate renewable energy and waste heat. REHEATEAST aims to facilitate this by encouraging multi-stakeholder inter-sector cooperation by developing, testing and disseminating applicable solutions that support public-private cooperation and the implementation of large-scale building and system rehabilitation programs. Transnational cooperation enables the adaptation of existing good practices in a similar context, as well as the joint development of adaptable cooperation and optimization models, especially with regard to the integration of standardization, certification and green procurement opportunities, with all relevant stakeholders (including authorities, consumers, financial bodies, institutions, utilities, media, technology suppliers and construction companies). The developed models are tested in pilot actions. REHEATEAST formulates policy recommendations to address the challenges of DH systems in the Eastern Danube region and beyond.
