This report offers a series of marketing recommendations both for steam-based district heating systems and for hot water systems. District heating marketing in the US is still in its infancy, and marketing managers are still learning which strategies and techniques allow them to concentrate their limited marketing resources for maximum effect. In conclusion, survey findings and analysis are applied to the Columbus market for the benefit of potential district heating developers. Responsibility for implementation and oversight of future district heating projects involving the City of Columbus has now been transferred from the Planning Division to the Public Utilities and Aviation Department. It is expected that future district heating projects in Columbus will be wholly developed, financed, and owned by private interests. 6 tabs.
