Every single day, every city on the planet is flushing vast and valuable quantities of thermal energy literally down the drain, wasting the opportunity to recycle wastewater heat. In response, a new information and global mapping portal for wastewater heat recycling has been launched by a leading group of experienced engineers and expert map-makers. wastewaterheat.online The amount of thermal energy available within wastewater is enormous — typically 20%-35% of total housing energy and up to 40% of low-temperature heat used in commercial and industrial sectors gets turned into hot water, which then goes down the city sewers, simply flushed away, every single day. Put simply, the water world has this free heat energy supply available, but they do not really have uses for it. The buildings world has uses for the energy but doesn't know where it is located or how much there is available. Energy policy planners typically ignore it in their planning processes. We have launched the information portal to provide easy to understand information about wastewater heat recycling, and to provide a global webmap to display wastewater network heat maps. The portal also has dedicated information pages for energy policy makers, building designers and wastewater utilities, to help each of these sectors with their specific needs. There is also a selection of 27 case studies from around the world, to show a range of actual operating buildings already using wastewater heat recycling.
