MEASURE: Communal heat generating system
Installation of central heating system providing heating and hot water to more than one dwelling in a block, street or larger area.
Monitoring & feedback recommended: Yes
ADVANTAGES
Communal systems can be considerably more efficient than individual systems; potentially very good for multi-occupancy buildings (e.g. blocks of flats, tenements)
