As part of the European GeoBOOST project, a conference will be held on 4 December at the Universitat Politècnica de València, focusing on the key role of geothermal energy in the transition towards more sustainable and efficient buildings for local administrations.
With the title “Geothermal Energy and Sustainable Buildings: Local Action for Global Goals”, the meeting, led by Professor Javier Urchueguía and promoted by researchers from the ICTs against Climate Change (ICTvsCC) group at ITACA-UPV, will bring together institutional representatives, industry experts, and European organisations to address the challenges and opportunities of this renewable technology.
The event will feature three thematic discussions covering the European perspective on sustainability, the role of municipalities in the energy transition, and real-life experiences in implementing geothermal systems in Spain and other countries.
The conference will conclude with a guided tour of the pilot installation of the AIGUATERM project, a pioneering initiative in renewable heating and cooling for public buildings.
“This event offers an excellent opportunity to know the potential of underground energy, connecting European goals with real local actions in municipal administrations (both urban and rural environments),” state representatives from ITACA.
For this reason, the organisers invite all those interested in improving their knowledge of this renewable energy source and learning from successful case studies to join the event.
Date: 4 December
Time: 9:00–14:10
