A new algorithm for numerical comparison of environmental sustainability of heating systems

This paper describes a technique for the selection of an heating system, among a choice of technologies, depending only on the environmental sustainability of the system itself. The analytical bases of this technique are introduced and a suitable numerical procedure is developed. The software implementation, built by the Authors in a Matlab environment, is described and numerical results are shown.
