The development of district heating networks in urban areas descibes an approach to achieve the goals and targets for energy saving, reduction of CO2-emissions and sustainbale energy that are stated by the government. For the development of district heating networks energy conversion systems are used of generating heat and networks are used to distribute heat. The Thesis descibes how to select possible district heating network alternatives and how to support decision makers in selecting a prefered district heating network by applying screening strategies and determining of environmental, technical and economical impacts.
