This research provides an overview of roles and factors relevant to DH systems, identifies stakeholder types, their interests and influence, shows the relationship to system requirements and the lack of stakeholder involvement in the heat planning process. A three-step descriptive system design framework is presented, followed by the identification of improvements for the planning process.
