The present practical guidelines have been developed within the TEMPO project. They should guide technicians in performing audits on energy systems in building to identify, diagnose and correct components or systems behaving in a suboptimal way. The flowcharts offer a first to gradually narrow down issues, and thus refer the user to issue profiles corresponding to probable issues.
In TEMPO, 6 technologies are developed and tested, namely: An automated on-line supervision platform to detect faults in DH substations Visualisation tools for expert and non-expert users A smart network controller to maximize sustainable energy consumption and minimize the return temperature An innovative piping system A building installation optimization Decentralised storage buffers The mentioned technologies
The DH network of A2A in Brescia is rather old, connecting buildings from different periods mainly in low building-density area. The network started operating in 1972 and is currently running at temperature levels of 120/60°C (supply/return). The network is heated by a waste-to-energy plant (~50% coverage), in combination with a CHP, waste heat recovery from
