About the project

 

ConnectHeat is the first EU initiative aiming to develop heating and cooling (H&C) communities to enhance renewable energy adoption and improve energy efficiency of H&C across Europe. It will implement pilot cases in seven diverse regions, putting citizens and public authorities at the heart of the energy transition. The project will offer an exciting set of activities including various tools, open workshops, webinars and dissemination events around H&C communities.

Train the Trainers workshop series was a success!

ConnectHeat put together the "Train the Trainers" series last year, running from September to December. The goal was to broaden knowledge and expertise in energy communities.

 

The series included one physical and five online workshops, featuring external speakers and gripping presentations. These sessions offered consortium members a fantastic opportunity to sharpen their skills and gain deeper insight into guiding the implementation of thermal energy community projects.
