Our main missions

To address the energy optimization challenges of the University of Rennes Beaulieu and refurbish outdated facilities, a cooling network solution with heat recovery was devised. Best Energies initiated the Public Service Delegation procedure up to its award.

Project characteristics:

  • 2 MW refrigeration plant,
  • 1.5 km cooling network,
  • Supply to 7 delivery substations.

Results obtained

The project was completed and commissioned, ensuring the full supply of the University of Beaulieu’s cooling needs. Extensions for heat recovery are planned for 2024/2025.

This project is particularly innovative, as there are few cooling networks in France. Moreover, heat recovery significantly improves the energy efficiency of the cycle.
