District heating & cooling

Heat and cold networks are systems that generate thermal energy (heat and cold) in a centralized production plant and distribute it, through a network system, to all users connected to said network system, satisfying your demand for heating, domestic hot water and cold.

At Agefred we install heat and cold networks, in which the energy fluids are sent to the service users through networks of pipes, normally buried. Clients house only the energy exchange, transfer and measurement unit in their buildings and facilities.

The main benefit of these facilities is to increase energy efficiency, using renewable energies (biomass, solar energy, geothermal, etc.), residual energy from the building (surplus heat or cold, natural cooling, etc.) and high-efficiency production systems. . In this way, with continuous management and maintenance by Agefred, we also manage to optimally adjust generation to demand, reducing energy consumption and air pollution.

Advantages of heat and cold networks

  • They are installed quickly and for a large number of users.
  • They are a more energy efficient solution.
  • Their investment is reduced and their maintenance is less expensive.
  • They provide greater comfort: they improve environmental and air quality and produce less noise and vibrations.
  • They guarantee safety, without risks of explosion or poisoning.
  • They offer a long-lasting thermal supply, with competitive thermal energy and highly reliable technical installations.
  • They are less polluting.
  • They are practical and aesthetic: they eliminate chimneys and equipment on facades.

At Agefred we also develop EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) contracts for production plants, with efficient and renewable energy, and their corresponding distribution networks for glycolated cold water for cooling, cold water for air conditioning, steam and hot water.
