Livrables

Documents, reports (1)

Monitoring concepts for sTES ambient domains

In INTERSTORES, new monitoring concepts for sTES environments will be developed and implemented. A summary of these concepts and, if applicable, of initial data obtained will be provided for the demonstration sites. They provide an initial outlook on the environmental monitoring data gained in INTERSTORES and may serve as a basis for other planners to design appropriate monitoring schemes.

Other (1)

Concepts for Innovative sTES

Documented concepts illustrate INTERSTORES' approaches and innovative concepts. They serve as a basis for the further development of materials, components and the operation of sTES and provide a first perspective on the optimization potential by the project.
