The RHC Europe, the European technology and innovation platform on renewable heating and cooling has elected Sabine Putz as chairwoman of the horizontal working group.

The RHC Europe, the European technology and innovation platform on renewable heating and cooling has elected Sabine Putz, who was SOLID´s Head of R&D for many years and Operating Agent of IEA SHC TASK 55 “Towards the Integration of Large SHC Systems into District Heating and Cooling (DHC) Networks” as chairwoman of a working group. She will lead the horizontal working group (HWG) of RHC, which will be tasked in 2021 with the development of a roadmap supporting the decarbonization of urban districts across Europe. The members of the HWG for renewable districts work in close collaboration with the other HWGs and more specifically on the following topics:

  • New district heating systems (low temperature district heating)
  • Refurbishment of existing district heating systems
  • Urban sources for heating & cooling
  • Individual heating solutions for urban use
  • District cooling and individual cooling solutions for urban use
  • Measures on the secondary side to support the roll-out of RES H&C solutions
  • Toolboxes and stakeholder support
  • Policy developments
  • Economics and markets of and for RES DHC

On top a vision for 2050 is prepared and all results are communicated towards policymakers, like the European Commission, in the form of a briefing.
