Abstract
A number of prospective district heating solutions were
investigated for the first time in the context of
application to buildings needing 75 % less energy than
standard today. Conducted analysis suggests that district
heating with traditional room radiators and current
billing tariff structure may not be cost effective due to
high investment costs. However, other options exist.
The most cost-effective district heating solution was
based on ventilation integrated heating. The solution
included domestic hot water system equipped with a
storage tank connected to district heating network
through a heat exchanger.
Present values (of energy and investments) of all 9
investigated solutions projected over 30 years span
remained within the apparently narrow range band of
0.23-0.33 /m2 per month. This indicates that in addition
to costs also other features should be considered when
selecting the building's energy system. These could be
e.g. achievability of high indoor comfort level,
functionality, outlook of heating terminals.
