In the heating supply systems in apartment buildings utilizing district heating, the supply water temperature setting is a critical control for providing sufficient heating and effective usage of the heating energy. Conventional water temperature control methods such as fixed temperature (FT) control can result in energy wastage and outdoor air temperature reset (OTR) control cannot reflect the variation in the heating demands of households because it only considers the outdoor air temperature. Therefore, this study proposes an advanced control method called flow-based residential energy demand (f-RED) control, which sets the supply water temperature based on the outdoor air temperature and household heating demands (i.e., the changes in the circulated heating water flow). To determine the performance of the proposed method compared to the conventional one, this study utilizes building energy simulation. The simulation analysis results confirm that the f-RED control method appropriately sets the supply water temperature based on a combination of the two factors, supplies heat according to heating demands, and reduces the energy consumption of the circulation pump by approximately 1.6% and that of the secondary pump by 4.2%. Thus, the f-RED control method is able to utilize heat energy more effectively and efficiently than the conventional control method. Full article
