GEOTHERMAL COMMUNITIES An FP7 CONCERTO project G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S
FACT SHEET • Project acronym: GeoCom • Project full title:Geothermal Communities – demonstrating the cascading useof geothermalenergy for district heating with small scale RES integration and retrofitting measures • Funded period:01.01.2010. – 31.12.2014 • Total budget: 11.541.696 EUR • EC funding: 3.513.704 EUR • Coordinator:Geonardo Ltd. • Number or beneficiaries: 16 G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S
OBJECTIVES • Pilot scale implementation of geothermal energy applications • Energy efficiency measures by means of retrofitting and optimalisation • Integration of geothermal resources with other RES, such as CHP and PV • developing and implementing an efficient monitoring system for the demonstration activities • appliedtechnological research on system integration, applications and optimalisation to help the demonstration activities of the project to be more efficient • detailed socio-economic research and studies for the public perception and to ease the preparation of similar future projects, • pro-active traininganddissemination activities • initiate and facilitate the networking of interested Communities by setting up Mayor’s Geothermal Club G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S

COMMUNITY PROGRESS I. GALANTA • The local housing association to conduct retrofitting and energy efficiency measures on three multi-storey blocks of flats • Planned operations were carried out and inspected way ahead of set schedule • An average annual saving of 45% on heating is realised • Efficient categories: B - efficient (2) and A - very efficient (1) buildings • Total number of dwellings in the 3 blocks: 96 (8707 m2) • Additional buildings connected to the geothermal district heating system by a new pipeline. • Galantaterm to provide DHW and heat for 2 more parties (a new housing estate and a microbiological accessories producing company) • Comprehensive budget of the insulation works on the elementary school G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S

MÓRAHALOM • Energy audit of the CONCERTO area completed • Gas-composition evaluation study on the Hunyadi liget B-45 abstraction well • Evaluation protocols on the retrofitting of the school and kindergarten complex were carried out;bids were submitted MONTIERI • Bank loan obtained from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti to realize DHN • Preliminary document on the construction of the solar-thermal system • Technical documentation on the installation of PV modules • Evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of each investigated retrofitting technology • Payback time of retrofitting also determined • Installation of several monitoring sensors (temperature, humidity, light) COMMUNITY PROGRESS II.

Research Partners’ Activities • MAGA - Presentation of the e-learning platform as well as the preliminary subjects prepared for the intended training • PAS-MEERI - Preliminary Questionnaire on “Public perception and understanding of RUE measures (pilot site case studies)”to obtain general background on local future beneficiaries’ attitude and state of knowledge on RES before the start of the investments. • SOFTECH - 27 case study buildings chosen to evaluate the relevance of technological measures proposed for the different kind of buildings in the village The analysis also to determinate the appropriate amount of funding to be given for each technological measure in different size of buildings. PV panels and solar connectors decided not to be applied on the buildings with historical value. G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S
