The Commissions Concerto-initiative is intended to support and accelerate an innovative and large scale integration renewable energy, advanced energy efficiency and systems for poly-generation linked together with concepts for Eco-buildings. (See Work-program Priority 6.1, call 2004.SM)

The Concerto-initiative is mainly targeted for “high performance communities with a broad and strong commitment, from the political level through ought the energy utilities and industries to the end user level” Communities showing this level of commitment, will through the Concerto-initiative have a substantial possibility to gain the Commissions support to form consortiums in order to realise and implement the proposed projects.

2 In General:

The City of Delft hereby confirms its interest and commitment to form a consortium and developing a Concerto proposal. If the proposal gains the support from the European commission, our ambition and commitment is to implement the proposed actions and projects.

1. Design, engineering and realisation of Low temperature district city heating grid
2. Design, engineering and realisation heat transfer equipment, back-up facilities etc to feed a Low temperature district city heating grid
3. Design and integrating of advanced energy saving measures in locations mentioned further
4. Connection and integration to new housing at the VDD location by means of tendering
5. Connection and integration in the renovation of the Poptahof area by means of tendering
