How Public Interventions in Buildings Energy Efficiency Affect the Economic Feasibility of a District Heating Network– a Case Study for Vienna
نویسندگان
چکیده
An urban district heating network represents an energy efficient way to supply the cities heat demand. The extension of district heating and the increase of it’s share in heat supply allows replacing ecological inefficient heating technologies. The economic feasibility of the extension and expansion and the operation of a local district heating network is a major issue. Hence the investment decision of a district heating company is influenced by the current and future installed capacity for heat generation, the trend of energy prices, as well as the development of the regional heat density. Apart from production and distribution, it’s also necessary to consider the society’s attidute toward heat supply by district heating.
