The objective of the course is to give participants experience with and basic knowledge of smart district heating systems through visits at heating distribution companies, heat production plants and construction sites. This is combined with lectures on dimensioning the main components and on how to operate a district heating system. District cooling systems will be touched upon briefly. Each lecture will include exercises which must be solved in teams.
