Description
In Tübingen, district heating is a modern and environmentally friendly form of heat supply. The district heating system of the Stadtwerke Tübingen (swt) is steadily growing. At the same time the swt invests in a steady improvement of efficiency and ecological quality of the supplied heat. In the frame of this policy, the feasibility of an transformation of the district heating system “Südstadt” into a “District Heating 4.0 System” shall be demonstrated.
