This study uses Agent-Based Modelling to analyse the adoption of District Heating (DH) networks in the commercial sector. It examines the impact of financial incentives and policy changes, demonstrating varied responses based on organizational Social Value Orientations. The findings emphasize the need for targeted policy interventions to accelerate...
This study employs an agent-based model to examine the adoption of District Heating Networks (DHNs) in heat zoning areas, focusing on the impact of three policy interventions, subsidy, tax and mandating connections. Analysing a case in South Yorkshire, UK, the research highlights a notable synergy in policies, with a combined £25.5 million from sub...
