The platform for thermal networks

An offer from the QM Thermal Networks working group

QM Thermal networks

QM Thermal Networks is a platform for technical, operational and economic issues relating to thermal networks.
Verenum AG launched the QM District Heating working group together with experts from the industry in 2015. At the same time, Verenum AG operates and maintains the platform, which has been published under QM Thermal Networks since the end of 2024.
The platform offers documents and tools, training and further education as well as advice and support for the planning, implementation, operation and optimization of thermal networks.
The target audience includes engineers and planners, administrative employees, developers and investors as well as operators of thermal networks.

Training and further education

The training and further education of specialists should ensure that appropriate experts are available for the optimal planning and operation of thermal networks. With the support of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy and under the patronage of Thermal Networks Switzerland (TNS), QM Thermal Networks offers corresponding courses.
