Efficiently designing heat networks for future development poses a significant challenge.
In the United States, consumer heat demand data is held by private gas and electric monopolies, overseen by Public Service/Utility Commissions. These companies are often not required to disclose building heat demand information. To address this obstacle in assessing district heating, designers can utilize building information from state Geographic Information System (GIS) repositories.
This white paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of whether district heating networks can serve as a viable alternative to traditional energy sources in remote areas of the USA. It also explores strategies to reduce costs in sparsely populated regions and optimize heat network dimensions using advanced software tools.
