A study visit of district heating facilities and related equipment manufacturers in Denmark was conducted in August, 1985, at the invitation of the Danish Board of District Heating, with support from the United States Department of Energy. US members of the study team were selected from the staffs of cities and counties participating in the Urban Consortium Energy Task Force program. The visit included tours of municipal district heating systems in the cities of Odense and Copenhagen, as well as equipment manufacturers in Kolding and in Copenhagen. The visit represented the first element in a technology exchange program that included the Danish Board's cosponsorship and participation in seminars and workshops in the United States in October, 1985. This report has been written by Public Technology, Inc., to describe the approaches taken to support district heating in Denmark and to document the experience of the study visit. The report includes questions asked by US participants prior to the visit, their reactions subsequent to the visit, and a summary of the October workshops in Columbus and San Francisco. 3 tabs.
