Brescia: Existing high temperature district heating network
The A2A pilot project involves part of the Brescia district heating network in a low building density area consisting mainly of terraced houses and some apartment blocks.
The existing network is heated by a waste-to-energy plant (~50% coverage), residual heat from industry and CHP, and peak-load gas boilers. The A2A network in Brescia started operating in the ‘70s, and currently operates at temperature levels of 120/60°C.
