Climate change stands as one of the most significant challenges that today's world must fight, in the most effective and prompt way possible. In this context, the optimization of consumption, including heating for residential spaces and domestic hot water supply, represents one of the crucial priorities. District heating involves the replacement of distributed boilers with a localized power plant, managed by the supplier, which is more efficient, safer and facilitates the integration of renewable sources. This study, carried out in collaboration between Politecnico di Torino and Edison Next S.p.A., examines the case study of Borgo San Dalmazzo, a small town in the province of Cuneo.
