Abstract: Feasibility of district heating networks for areas with low heat demand of passive and low energy houses implies the development of innovative concepts for the production, storage, distribution and supply of thermal energy. Low supply temperatures enables the use of heat from renewable and alternative sources, currently been neglected due to the usually high supply temperatures used in conventional district heating systems. Further on, low network temperatures are supporting the reduction of operational and investment costs.
