T-4B1a-TE-1 - Shift to district heating in commercial buildings

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

District heating is an efficient way of generating and distributing heat, allowing for a broad range of energy sources while utilising its large scale.

District heating is an efficient way of generating and distributing heat, allowing for a broad range of local energy sources while utilising its large scale.
