What is District Heating?

District Heating (DH) are thermal energy networks that distributes hot water through insulated dual (supply and return) pipe lines to homes and business for space heating, hot water and industrial purposes.  DH systems allow heat energy as distinguished from fuel to be bought and sold as a commodity.

DH systems offer advantages in terms of higher energy efficiencies and reduced consumption of energy resources. They are fully compatible with European and National policies and objectives for carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, energy efficiency, security of energy supply, sustainability and competitiveness. DH can also offer capital cost savings and reduced operating and maintenance costs to customers.
