Result – Total heating and cooling

This diagram displays central and local heating and cooling power.

For water based circuits, the power is calculated based on the mass flow and temperature changes (supply – return) in respective plant circuit. Thus, this heat is computed after generation losses (COP) have been accounted for but before any distribution and emission losses. Cooling power is accounted for as a positive quantity.

The analogous results are presented for local ideal heaters and coolers, although these are not served by the plant.
