Abstract
District energy planning is an important approach to achieve a low-carbon target. However, district energy planning has not yet been incorporated in the official planning system, and there are still no clear standards and specifications defining the content and depth of low-carbon emissions reform. In this paper, low-carbon energy planning practices of several new districts are summarized and a general theoretical and practical framework for district energy planning is proposed. In addition, six key points of concern in the planning process are identified. These include low-carbon estimation and index control, overall planning of infrastructure, linkage between city planning and other special low-carbon eco-planning, investment and financing and operation modes, planning management mechanisms, and the construction of a growing energy system which is combined with a project schedule. Finally, it is suggested that energy planning should be standardized as soon as possible and planned comprehensively from the aspects of technology, commerce, and management, in order to realize the low-carbon target.
