Research field: Thermal energy

The research field thermal energy focuses on heat and cold.

Details on the research field

The research field thermal energy conducts research in energy efficiency in this field. It consists of the following research areas: heat and cold.

Heat

In the research area "Heat", GREES deals with energy efficiency in applications using or producing heat. Currently three PhD projects are active: High-temeperature storage systems, integrated energy systems and heat recovery. Three more projects have been completed. Links to the research area "Cold" do exist.

Cold

In the research area "Cold", GREES deals with energy efficiency concerning the production and utilization of cold. Currently one reserach project on the sustainable development in the cooling demand is active. Two more concluded projects do exist, that both focused on energy efficiency in buildings.
