Abstract
The article deals with the issues of the impact of the quality of consumers' heat supply on the sustainable development of the urban areas infrastructure focused on the implementation of the United Nations Program on Human Settlements (UN-Habitat). A group of five countries of Central Asia has been studied, the quality of heat supply to consumers of which has long been ensured through centralized systems. An analysis of the heat supply quality in these countries showed that the main advantage of district heating, cogeneration, is losing its usefulness for consumers due to the significant accumulated wear and tear of heat supply systems. Quantitative dynamic characteristics of the heat supply facilities functioning are considered. A set of indicators for evaluating investment projects aimed at improving the heat supply quality is presented, that made it possible to propose rating indicators of heat supply interconnected with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
