message: In the section titled "District Cooling" there is an odd paragraph about a project management company called PAL technology that doesn't really seem to fit at all.  I'd opt to remove it, but I just came across this article and don't have a lot of subject matter expertise. Dgstangel (talk) 23:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference to PAL technology? 

message: Because it can be photographed :) Well, I know that's only one criterion, yeah. But there is a whole story here with regard to centralised social provision in the UK, at least, that isn't quite just a matter of a dictionary entry. I'm also not quite clear what that tower I imaged does exactly, not being a hydraulic engineer, so something about the engineering would be good. Efficiency comparisions would be good too, plus I recollect that some of the Soviet schemes (I think some were implemented, actually) were designed to use nuclear reactor secondary coolant. Really needs an expert, this page. Tarquin Binary 12:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: By what standard does "Consolidated Edison of New York (Con Ed) operate the largest commercial district heating system ever built"? http://www.energy.rochester.edu/dh/largest.htm ranks New York 9th, by annual heat sales. I'll be tagging that needing a citation for now.
By the way, http://www.energy.rochester.edu/dh/ contains a lot of useful material for anybody interested in improving this article. SGJ 20:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Any references to communities completely heated by district heating? The only one that comes to mind is in Quebec, Canada in a village of approx 600, Ouje-bougoumou. Here's two links http://www.ouje.ca/content/our-story/energy.php and http://www.ouje.ca/content/our-story/heating.php Heliatrope Fish (talk) 08:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Small communities? 

message: I made teleheating redirect here, it was a one sentence article with a very similar definition. It was also already copied to Wiktionary. Google search also shows that it is commonly used as a synomymom for district heating. Question is, is teleheating so well-known term that it is worth mentioning in this article? SGJ 20:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would seem that the term is in some use. I have added it to the article. --DV8 2XL 20:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: For tech-oriented readers it would also be of interest to know more about some key technical aspects, e.g.
* typical and maximum lengths of the heat pipes
* typical temperatures of water/steam in feed and return pipes
* typical materials and thicknesses used for the pipes and insulation
* typical % of heat lost due to conduction (i.e. incomplete insulation of the pipes)

thread_title:  Technical description would be useful 

message: I think it's a little confusing that this article is for "district heating", and down at the bottom has a second section on "district cooling".  Dictionary of energy (Cleveland et al., Elsevier c2006) defines the term "district energy" as "a term for energy ... that is produced at a central location and then transmitted to various specific sites in a given area (district) for uses such as space heating and cooling or domestic hot water heating".Babrahamse (talk) 18:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should be District energy? 

message: I belive district heating is used in more than 100 (have no idea exctly how much, maybe even 250) cities in Poland. It is very common, and even small cities with pop. of about 20,000 are connected to such heating. Of course not all building use it, mainly big buildings with lots of flats, but there was lots such buildings build in communist era, so as most of district heating system.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.213.255.7 (talk) 23:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The cogeneration plants use natural gas (42%), coal (39%), lignite (12%) and waste/others (7%) as fuel.
lignite is no coal?! I wonder anyway since German production is almost only "lignite" or "Brown Coal" (Braunkohle), so it would be almost all imported "Stone coal" (Steinkohle, the 2nd best coal only beaten by anthracite in terms of energy density) since the good coal reserves were lost to Poland in 1945. That is why Poland has the 2nd largest reserves on coal after Ukraine (incl. Donezk Area which is the "Factory" of the old Ukraine, the only thing they had... coal and iron ore). Of course Russias reserves are larger but since it lies in Europe and Asia we usually do not count it for Europe... Kilon22 (talk) 16:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph the term "space heating" (as opposed to heating water) is linked to the entry for "space heater". Given that the article is about district heating, the link to "space heater" (a non-centralized approach) seems not only wrong, but particularly inappropriate. My suggestion: Remove the link.

message: I just had a conversation on Twitter with a reporter covering the War in Ukraine. I was puzzled that Kyiv currently has hot water, but no heating or electricity. He explained to me that District Heating is a thing in Kyiv, as in much of the former Soviet Union. The article barely mentions the USSR, Russia, or Ukraine. Obviously, the article needs to be expanded in that direction. I'm not qualified to do this, so I'm just adding this note for the benefit of somebody who is.
