Abstract
A number of prospective heating solutions were
investigated as candidates for application in future
residential buildings. A target consumption assumed 75%
less energy as compared with standard solution today (33
vs. 130 kWh/m2). The best-fitting and cost-effective
district heating (DH) solution was searched and compared
with life-cycle costs of other technologies popular
today. Cost effectiveness of the energy saving measures
depends on energy prices and on the pricing policy of the
district heating companies. The reduction in heating
demand and the resulting increased share of domestic warm
water in the total heat load will pose a challenge for
future DH network design. Therefore, co-ordinated
designing of complete areas with appropriate sizing of
pipes appears to have pronounced importance.
