Table 1 Interpretation of the rating presented in the Eco.District.Heat kit (own illustration)
| Rating | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| A |
- Best achievable rating - A detailed planning of the DHN can be recommended - Good preconditions for a successful implementation of a DHN |
| B |
- Still good preconditions for a successful implementation of a DHN - By reflecting key parameters, necessary adaptations should be identified in order to gain better results - After adjustments, detailed planning might be very likely recommended |
| C |
- Planned DHN should be handled with caution - A comprehensive analysis at the level of detailed planning is necessary in order to decide if DHN can be implemented - Problems operating a DHN can be expected |
| D |
- Worst achievable rating - Areas with a final D rating are not feasible for the implementation of a DHN - Severe problems can be expected and contradict a reasonable implementation of a DHN |
