The document summarizes the OPTi project, which aims to optimize district heating and cooling systems. The project will develop a simulation environment called OPTi-Sim to optimize and redesign district heating systems. It seeks to reduce energy consumption by 30% and peak loads by 40% through tools for passive thermal storage, demand response, and user-centric optimization. The 32-month project has a budget of 2.1M Euros and pilot sites in Sweden and Spain, with goals of improved energy efficiency, consumer comfort and engagement, and economic and environmental benefits.
