Short summary
District heating and cooling systems are a viable sustainable solution to provide heat and cold in urban environments. We describe fifth generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) systems and show how this concept differs from conventional district heating systems. A 5GDHC system is decentralized, bi-directional, close to ground temperature networks that use direct exchange of warm and cold return flows and thermal storage to balance thermal demand as much as possible.
