Heat networks (sometimes called ''district'' or ''communal'' heating) are a way of heating blocks of flats or groups of homes. If your home is on a heat network: you can''t switch your heat network supplier. you might pay your heating bills to a management company or housing association - if you''re renting this might be part of your rent.

READ MOREDistrict heating is a network of highly insulated pipes that delivers heat from a central energy source to provide space heating and hot water to multiple buildings connected to the network. The network carries heat by pumping hot water to the end-user, and this hot water is not used directly by the customer but is rather used to heat each

READ MOREDistrict heating is also known as "district energy", as there are district systems that can provide both heating and cooling. Using district cooling, like district heating, is more cost-efficient and fuel-efficient than
READ MOREDistrict energy systems for heating and cooling, aim to achieve both cost-effective and stable operation. This article emphasizes the significance of selecting the right mix of heat generation technologies considering both investment and operating costs.
READ MOREThe solution is to convert existing district heating systems so they can run at lower temperatures — while constructing new low-temperature district heating systems at the same time. "Climate protection targets call for Germany to basically double the proportion of district heating systems we use to produce our heating energy by 2030.
READ MOREHeat networks distribute heat or cooling from a central source or sources, and deliver it to a variety of different customers such as public buildings, shops, offices, hospitals, universities and
READ MOREThrough a district heating network, the heat-producing plant pumps heated supply water to consumers where it is used as room-/floor-heating and to generate domestic hot water. The domestic hot water gets heated in a
READ MOREDistrict heating, also sometimes known as a heat network, is an engineering system whereby heat is generated centrally and then distributed through a network of pipes to many different buildings, offices, factories or other facilities. District heating systems might supply space heating or hot water to either commercial or residential buildings
READ MOREA decarbonisation solution for over 60% of UK homes.

Encompassing two or more low-carbon Ground Source Heat Pumps connected to in-street pipework which absorbs heat
READ MOREThe District Heating Power Plant Steyr is a renewable combined heat and power plant in which wood chips are used to generate power. The largest district heating system in Austria is in Vienna (Fernwärme Wien) – with many smaller systems distributed over the whole country. District heating in Vienna is run by Wien Energie.
READ MOREIn the guide published at the end of the project, they make specific recommendations. District heating and cooling networks are currently often fed by gas-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plants. They thus link the heating and cooling sector with the electricity and gas sector. However, the phasing out of natural gas-fired power generation
