Another rock cavern (40.000 cubic meters) to accommodate a #HeatPump constructed in Eira, a high-end residential district in Helsinki, 90 MWth #DistrictHeating + 60MWth #DistrictCooling.
This one is smaller than the nearby #KatriVala heat pump station (126MWth+80MWth).
Both use waste water as thermal heat source, but Eira can also use 30MWe direct electrical heating when power is cheap and waste water temperature low.
The project cost is 100 M€ and completed in 2025.

#DistrictCooling and other #infrastructure and #archtectural changes can help increase the efficiency of #cooling #systems and radically reduce the #energy such systems use even as exponentially more people in more places are finally able to access the lifesaving benefits of artificially and more naturally cooled air.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange #solutions abound.
