استراتژی های گرمایش شهری پایدار: چشم انداز از انتخاب مجتمع انرژی منطقه ای و حفاظت از انرژی در ساختمان ها. مطالعات موردی در تورینو و استکهلم

A systems approach is essential to avoid unnecessary investments or early retirement of assets: building renovations should be planned carefully as lower DH base loads could lead to increased running costs, and DH investments need to be adapted to long-term building improvements. Reduced peak loads can allow increased use of low-grade heat, higher merit-order power generation and in some instances cost-effective expansion of DH.
