Solar thermal energy installations in Eindhoven, the Netherlands
Type: CaseStudy
Abstract
Despite greatly improved equipment quality and higher system efficiency, solar thermal energy applications have not yet succeeded in capturing appreciable market shares in Europe. However, thanks in particular to local authorities and climate protection action plans and their implementation, there are now good examples at the local level. In Eindhoven in The Netherlands, the municipality has initiated several projects promoting and supporting implementations of thermal solar energy installations.
Keywords: Thermal solar and bioclimatic design
This case study was prepared by Energie-Cités in co-operation with the municipality of Eindhoven. It received funding from the ALTENER Programme of Transport and Energy of the European Commission.
