Renewable Energy for Housing

A Heat Network to Sustainably Supply the Housing Units of Frasnes-lez-Gosselies.

Project Objectives

The “Frasnes-les-Gosselies” Project aims for a new residential building construction of 10 apartments. The client wishes to implement an exemplary residential building from an energy and ecological perspective. They thus want the future occupants of the 10 apartments in the Project to have a renewable thermal energy supply to meet their heating needs.

Harnessing Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that relies on harnessing the heat naturally present in the subsoil.

Within heat networks, geothermal energy allows for capturing this heat via shallow or deep boreholes, and then distributing it through a hydraulic network. This technology offers the advantage of being locally available, stable year-round, and a low emitter of greenhouse gases. By leveraging this sustainable resource, it is possible to significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels, while ensuring a continuous and controlled energy supply.

The integration of geothermal energy into heat networks is therefore an important strategy for energy transition and carbon footprint reduction.
