Just visited CopenHill in Copenhagen
It’s not every day you see a waste-to-energy plant topped with a ski slope, hiking trails, and the world’s tallest climbing wall. ⛷️

[Selva Calixto @SelvaCalixto]

It converts 440,000 tons of waste annually into clean energy for 150,000+ homes.
This is the blueprint for modern infrastructure: proving that industrial necessity can and should be a vibrant, social asset to the community

I am honored to have facilitated a focused workshop on strategic LL97 compliance for NYC buildings.

It was valuable to guide participants through a data-driven exercise, highlighting the crucial financial and environmental differences between various decarbonization pathways.

[Selva Calixto @SelvaCalixto]

If you are a fellow professional or firm tackling building decarbonization and require expert support in developing robust, optimized strategies for your projects, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

We leverage tools and deep expertise to build these effective roadmaps.

To stay ahead, energy professionals need:

📊 Data analytics skills
🖥️ AI & machine learning basics
💡 System-wide thinking for energy networks

Not to become data scientists—but to stay in control of the future of energy modeling.

Why Engineers Need Smarter Tools in 2025 🔥

Engineers must balance efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness—yet traditional modeling methods often fall short.

Let’s talk about how AI can assist—not replace—engineers in district heating. 🧵👇

[Selva Calixto @SelvaCalixto]

AI-assisted modeling is already helping engineers:

📌 Optimize thermal storage
📌 Integrate renewables into heating networks
📌 Reduce modeling errors and inefficiencies

The best engineers won’t ignore AI—they’ll learn how to use it.

The city of Holland, Michigan has heated streets and sidewalks

Hot water from a nearby power plant circulates through 120 miles of piping underneath the pavement. The streets melt 1 inch of snow per hour

At #SustainableHeating, we recognize the need for targeted, high-quality training that empowers both present and future generations to navigate this transformative sector confidently.

According to the European Youth Energy Network (EYEN), "a skilled workforce is essential for effectively accomplishing the #energytransition. More than 30 million jobs could be created in #cleanenergy, #efficiency, and #lowemissions technologies by 2030.

However, a gap in technical knowledge, policy expertise, and innovative skills is evident, especially among those early in their careers.
