For many commercial enterprises and companies, this question is more economically relevant than initially assumed. Technologies such as integrated heat exchangers can be an interesting approach here. They are designed to combine different heat flows and make maximum use of them in the company, thus heating rooms such as offices. The investment costs are so low that they do not really outweigh the savings. Depending on the system, offices or entire office areas can be heated in this way.
