District heating and energy efficiency in detached houses of differing size and construction (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This research investigates the impact of district heating and energy efficiency in detached houses, focusing on various construction types and sizes. The study identifies significant potential for reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption through house envelope measures and improvements in heating technology. The findings emphasize the role of cogenerated district heating in enhancing energy efficiency compared to traditional systems, suggesting that a systematic approach may yield substantial environmental benefits.
