Heating and cooling systems

We manage 887 district and local heating or cooling systems worldwide, particularly in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic States. In general, we do not own the systems, but usually provide management, upkeep and maintenance services on behalf of the local authorities that do.
The systems are designed to supply heat, domestic hot water and air conditioning to public and private buildings such as schools, healthcare institutions, office buildings and residential buildings.

Heating networks, sustainable energy in the city

Whether it is for apartment blocks, schools, public buildings, hospitals or offices a heating network can supply all or part of a city. It is an economically sound and sustainable solution.

Extremely comfortable solutions

Simple and safe, the heating and cooling systems enhance the comfort of residents. The fact that there is no need to store materials or flammable products eliminates risks, and the compact systems can be installed anywhere.
Durability and ease of use are among the undisputed qualities of Dalkia's heating and cooling systems.

A choice of energy solutions

Upgraded systems equipped with cogeneration units are suited to a wide range of energy sources:

  • Coal and heating oil, which can be stored to ensure secure fuel supply.
  • Natural gas pipeline network to ensure fexibility.
  • Alternative sources like geothermal energy, biomass and waste recovery, which are cost efficient and environment friendly.

Challenges

  • Guarantee a reliable, comfortable supply of heat at the lowest cost.
  • Improve system reliability and building and occupant safety.
  • Increase energy efficiency as part of an energy conservation policy.
  • Upgrade sites and adapt them to actual demand.
  • Integrate systems into the urban landscape.
