Heizen mit Abwasser
Sammlung guter Praxisbeispiele zur Energieeffizienz jetzt als kostenfreie Broschüre erhältlich
Ein im Abwasserkanal installierter Wärmetauscher liefert zusammen mit einer Wärmepumpe die Heizenergie für über 1500 Quadratmeter Gebäudefläche. Selbst bei Wintertemperaturen von minus 16 Grad Celsius ist das System in der Lage, eine zuverlässige Wärmeversorgung sicherzustellen und ersetzt fast vollständig den mit Heizöl betriebenen klimaschädlichen Dampfkessel.

Let’s make a trip to the world of energy – energy day in a Swedish kindergarten
In May we spent two days in a Swedish kindergarten to talk about the topic energy. The kindergarten is not far from Oskarshamn, deep in the forest on the Swedish countryside. As we smelled the country air we knew we were right. There the kids have a close contact to the nature and to the animals. They learn to take care of them- in my opinion a really good concept.
