“Advanced polygeneration systems for power - cooling and heating applications in buildings - Solving an economic problem”

Preamble

“Gentle tourism" as a starting point for future economical and ecological development in the Alps region.  

The past ten years have seen a substantial change regarding the ethics in the tourism industry. It is meanwhile generally recognised that all tourism requires intact ecological bases (Flora, Fauna, water, air, ect.). 

et it is becoming increasingly understood that tourism itself can destroy these bases.  

Area sealing, destruction of intact ecological structures, water pollution as a result of tourists use, traffic noise, air pollution, etc. are amongst the negative effects of tourism in the  Alps region.

However the last years have  shown that the tourists are increasingly less prepared to go on vacation in places where environmental destruction has come about.. They avoid the loaded coastal regions and look for “clean” alternatives. Gentle tourism promotes a sustainable environment, which we can pass on to our grand children.  

The aim of this project is to demonstrate integrated technological solutions for large scale renewable energy integration within polygeneration schemes. 

In order to maximise the renewable energy     potential, all projects within this integrated project will apply techniques of multiple use of the primary energy, that is combining electricity, heat and cold production from the same energy carrier, in Bajardo, vegetable oil.

The optimisation and renewable energy integration into district heating and cooling systems is of special importance. Large scale demonstration projects will be set up in Bajardo. Solutions for larger non-residential buildings combining electricity, heat and power generation will be demonstrated.
