Project - ChiNoZEN
Key technologies and demonstration of combined cooling, heating and power generation for low-carbon neighbourhoods/buildings with clean energy (ChiNoZEN)
The commitment of the ChiNoZEN project is to contribute to a significant increase in the share of low-carbon buildings and neighbourhoods through cooperation between leading Chinese and Norwegian scientists.

Events
Our project meeting in Trondheim, Norway in May was our first physical meeting. Around 30 delegates from our Chinese partners joined in. Included in the programme was a tour of the ZEB lab.
With great pleasure, we met our Chinese colleagues again on our 3rd project meeting back in October 2021. We had more than 50 participants for the meeting this time. Master students, newly appointed Phd and exchange PhD student from NTNU get a chance to meet everyone during the meeting.

Work Packages (WPs)
The ChiNoZEN project is organized in five Work Packages (WPs):
- WP1 – Performance of grid-connected PhotoVoltaic technologies (PVT) with Thermal Energy Storage (TES)
- WP2 – High Temperature Heat Pump (HTHP) and dynamic performance
- WP3 – Simulation platform and control strategy of CCHP
- WP4 – Key CCHP technologies of low carbon neighbourhood and buildings with multiple energy sources
- WP5 – Demonstration of low carbon neighbourhood and buildings with clean energy
