Heat district Groot-Begijnhof Mechelen

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.
