Case Study: EnergyLab Nordhavn advances smart, climate-friendly heating and cooling with Danfoss

EnergyLab Nordhavn - Customer Case Study

EnergyLab Nordhavn, a major urban development in Copenhagen, needed a way to prove how future smart energy technologies could integrate electricity, heating, energy-efficient buildings, and electric transport into a flexible, renewable-based system. Danfoss supported the project with smart components for integrated energy systems, including district heating substations based on ultra-low temperatures, remote-controlled radiator thermostats, and use of surplus heat from a supermarket refrigeration system.

Danfoss implemented these solutions to demonstrate and analyze the technical and economic feasibility of smart control for heat and cooling in buildings. The result was improved efficiency and flexibility in Nordhavn’s energy system, helping Copenhagen move toward its CO2-neutral goal and supporting potential annual savings of up to 10% less heat use in district heating operations—worth as much as USD 70 million per year in heating bills.
