Effects of heat and electricity saving measures in district-heated multistory residential buildings

Truong, Nguyen Le; Dodoo, Ambrose; Gustavsson, Leif - In: Applied Energy 118 (2014) C, pp. 57-67

The effects of heat and electricity saving measures in district-heated buildings can be complex because these depend not only on how energy is used on the demand side but also on how energy is provided from the supply side. In this study, we analyze the effects of heat and electricity saving...
