Low Temperature District Heating...
[...]
• NCC created an efficient citywide heat network.
• The project enabled Nottingham to cope with climate change and build resilience to external energy prices
• The heat source is Energy from Waste (EfW), which is recovered by the incineration of waste; offsetting approx. 27K tonnes of CO2 emissions per year
• Customers received a far more efficient energy supply than those with gas boiler

Switching from steam based to water...
[...]
Standard & Technical Details: 2.5km of piping, 8.2 MW heat and 1.6 MW of electricity biomass plant.
The solution is changing steam pipes to district heating based on water as energy transmitter. The power is supplied via a biomass power plant owned by the municipality. Pipes can be used with any other water based heat production system. The biomass power plant is fueled by the waste of public green spaces.
Solution

Green Remediation
Within the EU, there are many brownfields with polluted soil, water or air. A significant number of these brownfields have a central location and are connected to the transport system. Green Remediation is a solution which remediates these brownfields and enables the use of these areas. The main benefits of applying this model are: 1) Prevention of new developments on greenfields 2) Improvement of human health and environmental conditions. The idea behind this green remediation is that not only pollution is minimised or eliminated, but also the efficient use of resources and impacts of restoration techniques are reduced. The essential point is that the polluted soil or groundwater is decontaminated on-site, eliminating the need for removal and transport off-site. Additionally, energy can be generated locally, allowing savings in power consumption. Also, old infrastructure can be reused or recycled.

First of all, there was the decision to illuminate the paths of the playground when the night falls in. To do that in an energy efficient way, LED technology was chosen. But even with LED luminaires it is a waste of energy when the luminaires are shining even if nobody is there. Next to that it is an impact to the live of local animals and their environment. So the luminaires have been equiped with an sensor which is detecting people and is able to differentiate them from animals. With this technology the light is dimming down to a low level of light when nobody or just animals are there. If somebody
