Refers to the different measures aimed at improving the efficiency of district heating and cooling networks and integrating low-carbon energy sources into the heating and cooling energy mix.
Measures can include:
- Renovation of existing district heating and/or cooling network to improve energy efficiency
- Switch to renewable energy sources, such as biomass, geothermal, solar thermal, wood energy, biogas, green hydrogen, etc
- Integration of secondary heat sources, e.g. from industrial processes, household waste incineration, data centres, metro, wastewater, etc
- Digitalisation of existing network, e.g. for reducing network’s temperature
- Improvement of components of the existing network
