DHN¤
Introduction¤
District heating is a system for distributing heat from a centralized source to consumers via a network of underground insulated pipes carrying hot water. Centralized heat generation avoids the need for individual boilers or electric heaters in every building. The investment for the installation of the district heating network is accounted here.
