Heat district Groot-Begijnhof Mechelen
The "Warmth neighborhood Groot-Begijnhof" project aims to transform the neighborhood into a fossil-free district by 2050. The question focuses on identifying the most appropriate solutions to sustainably heat this historic neighborhood, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
AUDITOR
city of Mechelen
LOCATION
Great Beguinage Mechelen
BUDGETSTUDY
approx. 10,250 EUR(excl. VAT)
PERIOD
study 03/2024 - 07/2024

ref. 20091.001 and 20091.002
Ingenium was commissioned by the city of Mechelen to study various technical scenarios, covering both individual solutions and different types of heat networks.
Specific attention was given to the limited renovation possibilities of the buildings, narrow streets (as a function of heat grid construction) and the calculation parameters used.
A heat grid appears to be financially competitive with individual air-water heat pumps in this neighborhood. However, the more difficult environmental construction, smaller type of heat consumers and absence of obvious heat source make a medium-temperature heat grid approximately break even with individual air-water heat pumps.
