The purpose of this guide is to promote and disseminate the technology of district heating and / or cooling networks, as well as to advise the potential promoters of this type of installations from a methodology that establishes the criteria that should be considered when designing a district network. In addition to this "basic guide", the Integrated Guide for the development of district heating and cooling networks has been developed. (http://www.adhac.es/priv/clientsimages/asociacionperso6_1338538783.pdf) The basic guide has a more generalist approach, to give some global notions of these systems, while the integral guide goes deeper into the themes, with the purpose of being an instrument that helps to make decisions on the suitability of implementing a district network in a given environment.
