Scalable AI methods for home heating systems and other heating systems

In the Machine Learning in District Heating (ML4FW) project, AI-supported optimization of control parameters successfully demonstrated a reduction in return temperatures of 2–3 K and a significant reduction in energy consumption.

The methods developed are not only suitable for house stations in district heating networks, but can also be easily adapted to other heat supply systems.
