Self-organization as perspective
Corrective feedbacks
Incentives for temperance More ATES systems
Self-organizing ATES systems
Communication must lead to:• Self configuration
• Self optimizing
• Self healing

Titel van de presentatie
Spatial impact
• Uncertainties Large permits Safe design rules
• Urban areas
High demand
• Temperature distribution in subsurface
Scarcity of space
Because of: • Precautionary principle • Longevity of impact Resulting in: • Suboptimal use &• Not sustainable use of subsurface
