By Urban Persson and Luis Sánchez-García from Halmstad University, and  Eva Wiechers and Bernd Möller from Europa-Universität Flensburg. Efficiency in the heat sector and the built environment can be achieved by building retrofits, the replacement of buildings, and the development of district heating as a means of structural energy efficiency. Hereby,...

Future district heating will have to bear energy efficiency in mind. As energy efficiency in buildings progresses, areas with lower heat demands must be supplied with increased shares of renewable energy and excess heat. Therefore, the purpose of the present work is to map future...
