Up to 80% of total energy consumption in the EU is attributed to urban areas, mostly with historical urban centres. At the same time, low carbon energy supplies in the style of energy storages, especially in historical urban centres, is a rarity in central Europe. This is mainly because of strict architectural protection constraints, higher implementation costs and often also conflicts with town planning policies.
The STORE4HUC project aims to improve territorially based low-carbon energy planning strategies. It will enrich policies that support climate change mitigation in historical city centres by focusing on improved urban and spatial planning for integrating energy storage systems to enhance the public institutional and utility capabilities.
The partners will develop policy recommendations and identify suitable integrated technological solutions to overcome low carbon development barriers in historic centres. They will also facilitate the development of open energy and load management systems for energy efficiency and use of renewables. With its concepts and pilot systems, STORE4HUC will provide smart city test beds, where technicalities will be reconciled with historical and architectural values.

INVOLVEMENT
Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, Italy and Germany organised the project's first round of deployment desk activities with stakeholders of the pilot sites. These meetings/survey involve the local and regional communities and organisations as well as communities in the respective piloting sites and support the implementation of energy efficient update of local energy storage management in historic urban city centres.

Presentazione del Progetto
Il progetto, a cui partecipano enti e istituzioni di 5 Paesi europei, si pone come obiettivo principale lo sviluppo di sistemi di approvvigionamento energetico sostenibili nei centri storici cittadini, capaci di abbattere le emissioni grazie all’utilizzo di sistemi di produzione di energie rinnovabili collegati a sistemi di stoccaggio energetico.

Pilot in LendaVA, Slovenia
Public Library in Lendava
The pilot of a paraffin-based latent storage attached to a geothermal heating system is a highly innovative investment in Slovenia. Lendava’s library, a neo-baroque villa (1906) will be connected to the district heating network and a paraffin cell buffer-based energy storage system will be implemented.

Outlook: Thermos Flask Serves as Example for Sustainable Energy Storage
In a fascinating new project, the citizens of Heidelberg receive a new sustainable energy storage tower with award-winning look. This energy storage tower will be completed in 2020 and is more than a sustainable energy storage cylinder: a knowledge center, tourist attraction and hopefully a city icon.

Project Launch in Croatia
Old and modern in symbiosis? Why not! It is a practice that has been nurtured in Western European countries for years, now Croatia catches up with its numerous prestigious cultural sites. With the goal of extending the life of these buildings and enhancing the sustainability of cultural objects, our Croatian partners held the project launch event in Bračak Energy Center on 16th of September.

Novi projekt: store4huc
Glavni cilj projekta Store4HUC je unaprijediti i obogatiti strategije energetskog i prostornog planiranja koje su usmjerene na povijesne gradske jezgre usredotočujući se na integraciju sustava za pohranu energije u njih. U projektu ukupne vrijednosti 1.726.608,70 eura FER će razviti programske alate za planiranje optimalnog rada sustava pohrane energije u okruženju povijesnih gradskih jezgri pri čemu se poštuju specifična ograničenja takvih zaštićenih sredina.

Store4huc projektbeginn
Das neue europäische Projekt Store4HUC entwickelt Lösungen für erneuerbare Energien und ihre Speicherung in denkmalgeschützten Gebäuden.
„Denkmalgeschützte Häuser mit erneuerbaren Energien zu versorgen und diese zu speichern ist oft schwierig: Sichtbare Veränderungen am Gebäude sind nicht möglich und Einbauten oft schwierig. Dafür sind fantasievolle Lösungen gefragt“, so Dr. Wolfgang Hofstetter vom Klima-Bündnis.

Store4HUC launched
The new European project Store4HUC develops solutions for renewable energies and their storage in historical buildings.
“It is not always easy to supply listed buildings with renewable energy and to store that energy: visible changes to the building are not possible and the subsequent installation inside the buildings is often difficult. This calls for imaginative solutions,” explains Dr. Wolfgang Hofstetter of Climate Alliance.
