Abstract: The integration of waste heat into district heating of-fers the potential to decrease the environmental im-pact of the district heating’s energy supply. A signifi-cant amount of waste heat is available at low tempera-tures, compared to existing district heating networks.In this paper, we generate a simulation model of a dis-trict heating 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 exist-ing network. The waste heat utilization can decreasethe primary energy consumption and CO2emissionsfor the respective buildings. These results can beimproved further by optimizing the low-temperaturenetwork connection of each building.
