As the weather gets colder, cities are gearing up for the heating season. Recently, Dalian Heating Group in Liaoning has announced a comprehensive retrofitting plan for eight boiler plants to achieve ultra-low emissions. The goal is to ensure that all coal boilers over 65 tons in the city meet these standards by the end of the year.
Urban heating is a vital public service. In previous years, many regions have faced challenges during the heating season, including inadequate temperatures and increased air pollution. This has raised important questions about how to balance residents’ heating needs with maintaining a clean and safe environment.
Improving heating quality requires proactive measures. Many localities are conducting inspections and renovating networks during the summer and fall to address issues of leaking and inefficiency in heat distribution. Heating companies are upgrading their technology, switching to cleaner heat sources, and expanding their supply networks. Additionally, they are amplifying routine inspections to ensure comprehensive monitoring of heating quality. This includes holding heating providers accountable for safety and quickly addressing public concerns.
To achieve green heating, it is essential to enhance clean production practices and promote the smart and digital transformation of heating systems. Heating enterprises should focus on ultra-low emissions and refined management strategies, which will allow them to provide safe, reliable, and continuous heating while minimizing energy and resource consumption and reducing emissions.
Currently, several cities in China are speeding up the adoption of cloud platforms, big data, IoT, and AI technologies to build intelligent heating systems. They are refining their heating information systems and smart dispatching centers, utilizing data analysis, energy-saving diagnostics, and optimized operations to manage energy consumption effectively. By monitoring indoor temperature changes and automatically calculating a temperature curve that matches user comfort levels, these systems can adjust room temperatures automatically, maximizing energy savings and lowering carbon emissions. Such initiatives are worth adopting and promoting across various regions.
