Danfoss, a leading player in the district heating industry, recently presented a project from the Danish city of Aarhus in order to meet the challenges of the low-energy society and provide an alternative choice for customers, for the society and for the climate.

According to Danfoss, new low-energy district heating systems can now be made so cost-effective, that they can be the best choice as heat supply for new low-energy houses. Such an example you find in the Danish city Aarhus, where blocks of flats are built according to the Danish standard Low-Energy Class 1, which is next to the passive house standard.

“Bringing down CO2 emissions is a main topic of the world today. One of the means to achieve this is to combine a new modernized version of district heating systems with buildings with a very low heat demand”, says Jan Eric Thorsen, the Senior Project Manager in Danfoss District Heating. “We have proven that also in a future low-energy society with a larger number of low-energy houses than today, district heating is the best choice for customers, for society and for the climate”, added Jan Eric Thorsen.
