Transitioning towards a circular economy is vital for reducing resource consumption and environmental impact. Yet, the adoption of circular business models remains slow, partly due to a mismatch between customer needs and what businesses offer. User needs are often overlooked in the design process, contributing to limited demand and adoption.

District heating is one of Sweden’s traditional industries, having daily impact on society. It heavily relies on human experience, bringing challenges to stakeholders: housing companies struggle to deliver promised comfort to tenants. Utility companies have limited visibility on customer demand and sub-optimal network operation. At peak times, heat and power plants run at a stretch which is detrimental for economy and the environment.
