Consulting module “Sustainability by design for energy infrastructures”<\/h3><\/div>

Sustainability must not be a secondary objective – it must be considered from the outset. Sustainability by design<\/strong> means planning heating networks and energy grids in such a way that they not only function technically and economically, but are also ecologically and socially sustainable. EXAVY<\/strong> supports local authorities, network operators and developers in integrating sustainability into technology, planning and decision-making structures at an early stage – systematically, measurably and effectively.<\/p>\n

What is being developed in a structured consultation process?<\/p>\n<\/div>
