Heat networks are growing in popularity for multi-occupancy buildings. These can be small multi-unit dwellings, like apartments, multiple block districts, all the way up to city scale districts.
What is a Heat Network?
The heat network has a centralised energy source, which range from an individual plant room to larger scale infrastructure and full-scale plants. A system of insulated pipes takes the heat from the energy source and distributes it to each designated dwelling or designated space in the building. Each space has its own heat interface unit to control comfort settings and the amount of heat used.
