Thermal storage enhances the efficiency of renewable energy heating systems, like pellet-fired boilers and solar collectors, by storing low-cost, off-peak electrical energy for future use. It's vital for reducing energy costs and ensuring consistent heating, with auxiliary boilers providing backup when needed.
Circulating ground-temperature water in a Thermal Energy Network (TEN) provides efficient heating and cooling, reducing costs and mitigating climate change through decarbonization. The water must be kept within a specific temperature range, known as the performance zone.
Like most people, I have opinions and beliefs about our current energy sources, and specifically how they play into the future of hydronic heating and cooling technology.
In July, as part of the "GROHE goes ZERO" initiative, all five production plants worldwide, as well as the logistics centers in Germany, were converted to run on green electricity.
