Significance of temperatures in future district heating Today, as can be read, the temperature means a lot, but in the future, the temperature will mean even more due to the shift to new forms of production. The IEA DHC's guidebook 2021, "LOW-TEMPERATURE DISTRICT HEATING IMPLEMENTATION GUIDEBOOK," explains how the distribution temperatures (Sup- ply and return) provide savings in production efficiencies of up
to 6 times more than today's combustion production plant. The future production sources are geothermal, heat pumps, surplus heat, and solar heat. You will save significantly if the tempera- ture is lowered before you invest in the new technologies.
