Introduction
Climate-friendly, durable and easy to process - for more than 50 years
On 17 August 1973, Gerhard Rosenberg founded aquatherm GmbH - in the basement and garage of his private home. His ambitious goal? To revolutionise the market. This vision gave rise to the world market leader for plastic pipework systems made of polypropylene for plant construction and building services: aquatherm. Why polypropylene? Because of its outstanding ecological properties and high temperature and pressure resistance. Today, we are represented in around 70 countries around the world with our long-standing partners.

<p><span>DLC-cooled sites typically use A key indicator to objectively assess the energy efficiency of data centres is called PUE: Power Usage Effectiveness. This key figure describes the ratio of total energy consumption to pure IT energy. Simply put, what percentage of the energy used actually goes into servers, storage, and network, and how much is needed for cooling, lighting, energy distribution, etc.?</span></p>

<p><span>If the heat transition is to be more than just symbolic politics, it needs new infrastructure. Green district heating offers the greatest untapped potential and will determine whether climate targets in citi</span><span>es and urban areas are achieved.</span></p>

<p>District heating is considered a key component of the heat transition, especially in urban areas. However, its actual efficiency<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> depends on one often invisible factor</span>: heat loss in district heating pipes.</p>

<p>The heating transition is under great pressure: heating networks must be built faster, CO₂ emissions must fall, and supply costs must remain stable. But how should heat be provided – centrally via large infrastructures, or decentrally with solutions close to the district? Both approaches are justified. The right choice depends on the project context: urban or rural, new construction or existing buildings, high or low connection density. International strategies – such as those of the EU Commission, the IEA, and the IPCC – emphasise that it is not a question of either-or, but rather a flexible toolbox for a climate-friendly heat supply.</p>

<p>District heating and local heating are two central supply concepts for a climate-friendly heat supply. But what are the differences - technically, economically, and structurally? Which solution is best suited to different types of infrastructure and settlement layouts? What requirements must a heating network meet, and what political framework conditions need to be considered?</p>

<p>Imagine this: Every time you watch a series, train an AI model, or back up your company's data, a data centre somewhere is hard at work – and all the electricity powering those servers ends up as heat. </p>

<p>How can the climate-friendly heating transition succeed in metropolises, cities, and municipalities worldwide – and do so in a safe and affordable way for millions of households and businesses? Are district heating networks the answer, and can they truly help phase out fossil fuels on a large scale?</p>

<p>Today, dependence on functioning digital infrastructure is one of the most significant economic and risk factors – and the requirements for data centre availability classes are correspondingly high. Companies, public authorities, medical facilities, critical infrastructure operators – they all face the same pressure: any unplanned failure of digital systems can bring operational processes to a standstill or even endanger human lives.</p>
