New REHEATEAST Deliverable: Practical Models for Optimising District Heating and Cooling Systems
The REHEATEAST project has published a new deliverable presenting a joint methodology and seven practical models to support the optimisation of district heating and cooling (DHC) systems.
Built on a harmonised framework, the approach combines technical optimisation and stakeholder cooperation, reflecting the realities of modern energy system transformation.
The seven models — including the Referent, Incremental, Living Lab, and Municipal retrofit models — follow a clear three-phase structure:
preparation, implementation, and analytics/reporting.
Designed to be adaptable, scalable, and easy to replicate, these models provide a structured pathway from strategy to real pilot actions. Project partners will test and refine them in practice, ensuring continuous improvement.
By offering transferable solutions, the deliverable contributes to broader regional and transnational efforts toward more efficient and sustainable DHC systems.
