Abstract: The integration of waste heat into district heating offersthe potential to decrease the environmental impactof the district heating's energy supply. A signi-cant amount of waste heat is available at low temperatures,compared to existing district heating networks.In this paper, we generate a simulation model of a districtheating network from a database and evaluatethe integration of waste heat compared to the originaldesign. Our simulation demonstrates the feasibility ofintegrating low temperature waste heat into an existingnetwork. The waste heat utilization can decreasethe primary energy consumption and CO2 emissionsfor the respective buildings. These results can beimproved further by optimizing the low-temperaturenetwork connection of each building.
