In today’s world, where energy plays an increasingly central role, the search for ways to save energy is more urgent than ever. This is especially true for sectors where water and energy are closely linked. The theme “Energy Saving and Water” focuses on reducing energy demand in water-related processes, with the goal of more sustainable and efficient use of our resources.
Hot tap water and energy consumption
One of the key focus areas within this theme is optimizing energy use for hot tap water. Through innovations that allow the required temperature for hot tap water to be lowered, significant energy savings can be achieved. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also provides a financial advantage for consumers and businesses.
The potential of modern heat pumps
Modern heat pumps play a crucial role in the energy transition. By lowering the temperature of hot tap water, these systems can operate at their maximum efficiency. This contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions and helps achieve climate goals.
Sustainable legionella management
A lower temperature of hot tap water requires safe and sustainable legionella management. Innovative water treatment technologies ensure that water can be used safely, without the need for excessive amounts of energy to maintain high temperatures.
The way forward
The theme ‘energy saving and water’ underscores the need for an integrated approach to increase energy efficiency in water use. Through collaboration between technological innovators, policymakers, and the industry, we can make significant progress toward more sustainable water and energy management.
