Abstract

Currently, with the rapid development of small towns in China, residents’ heating demand has been increasing, which exposes the heating problems of the small towns. Especially in the heating season, the energy consumption of buildings accounting for a decent proportion and the increase in pollution emissions can seriously affect the lives of residents. To alleviate these problems and promote clean heating, it is necessary to investigate the resources situation of small towns and design targeted heating lines for load areas. Therefore, this article used data analysis, described the population, construction area and industrial structure of small towns in the northern region, summarized the current development trend of small towns in China. Besides, taking the small towns in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as an example, this paper tried to understand the heating problems of small towns, including low energy efficiency of thermal energy and poor thermal insulation of buildings. Based on the supply and demand side of small towns and the differences in the endowment characteristics in various regions, this paper also proposed different clean heating technology paths.
