The four generations of district cooling - A categorization of the development in district cooling from origin to future prospect [PDF]
Energy, 2022 Research into new advanced district heating concepts has increased since the first four generations of district heating were defined in 2014. This definition created a common framework for research and industry alike, and pointed to potential futures for district heating which could benefit from low-temperature heating in buildings. The fully developed
