Summary:

This open access book is a collection of select papers on topics presented at the 19th International Symposium of District Heating and Cooling in Genk, Belgium. It provides insight into some of the most relevant and current findings in the field of district heating and cooling. The papers were reviewed in a single blind process by the conferences Scientific Committee to fulfil a high scientific standard.
