Strategic Heating and Cooling Planning — From vision to engagement
The first out of three online sessions of the Act!onHeat Training Programme will provide an overview about the workflow of strategic H&C planning in cities. More specifically, the session will focus on the first steps to be taken by a municipality , which include the development of a vision, ensuring political commitment, forming an internal working group and establishing an effective engagement strategy for identifying and implementing thermal projects together with local stakeholders. The political and technical insights from leading experts are complemented by the release of the results of a meta-study that Act!onHeat conducted to determine the success factors of H&C planning across Europe. Ultimately, the session aims to encourage H&C stakeholders to foster thermal planning in their cities and regions as well as to consider to take-up the support offered by Act!onHeat Support Facility.
