Reducing energy consumption and transitioning to renewable energy are critical priorities today. As a major contributor to energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the building sector plays a crucial role in these efforts. In Sweden, district heating is the primary heat source for residential buildings, so this issue makes it essential to increase efficiency and the proportion of renewable energy in this sector to benefit both society and the environment. The 4th generation of district heating operates at lower supply and return temperatures than the current generation, soit can provide the opportunity to use more efficient technologies such as renewable energy sources. This transition requires significant infrastructure changes on both the distribution and supply sides. Additionally, certain practices on the demand side can facilitate integration with lower-temperature district heating systems. This study employs a PEST analysis (Political, Economic, Social, and Technical) to evaluate the transition and integration of 4th generation district heating for detached houses in Sweden, which are major energy consumers in the country. A SWOT analysis is conducted based on the provided context following the PEST analysis. Finally, the resulting SWOT strategies offer recommendations for district heating providers, households, and regulators to simplify the transition to 4th generation district heating and its integration with renovation practices.
