Danfoss Leanheat Building and Optit partner to enhance energy efficiency for Italy’s district heating

Danfoss Leanheat^® Building announced a strategic partnership with Optit, Italy’s leader in decision support solutions. Together, we aim to bring advanced peak power reduction solutions to district heating utilities across Italy. This collaboration is driven by our shared commitment to energy efficiency, sustainability, and the optimization of heating grids for the communities they serve.

Building on successful pilot projects in Northern Italy—where our combined efforts achieved a remarkable 30+% reduction in peak power demand coupled with a decrease in normalized energy consumption—the Leanheat^® Building solution has proven effective in not only cutting hourly power needs but also in reducing energy flow and improving return water temperatures. These improvements ensure reliable indoor conditions, even with optimized energy usage.

Leanheat^® Building optimizes energy use across individual buildings and district heating utilities (DHUs). Tailored for DHUs, it supports the efficient, large-scale management of heating grids.
