In this paper, we will discuss how to choose heating units using the utility function. This paper is conceived as a detailed continuation of the analysis made by the authors in their doctoral thesis. This paper is among the first tries of this type from Romania. A case study shows the practical application of this algorithm, and the results obtained were compared to the results obtained by other authors. The paper ends with the presentation of the numerical results and a few conclusions. We are also presenting several directions for future research in this field.
