The purpose of the FROnT RHC | Fair RHC Options and Trade project was to promote a level playing field for Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC) in Europe, and develop strategies for its greater deployment.
It provided a better understanding about how to deploy RHC in the market. It improved transparency about costs of heating and cooling options (using RHC or fossil fuels), RHC support schemes and end-user key decision factors. This knowledge has helped towards developing Strategic Policy Priorities for RHC to be used by public authorities in designing and implementing better support mechanisms. It also supported the industry in engaging more effectively their prospective clients.
The project was run by eleven organisations from across the continent and it was funded by the European Commission’s IEE programme.
The main online tools for cosumers developed by the project were the RHC cost estimation tool and the Decision Making Tools about different RHC solutions.Â
