District heating/cooling is a big one. I think NY is still using 1st gen technology which is kind of crazy in this day and age (also crazy it’s one of the few places in the US using DH). We’ve moved so far in DH that I can’t imagine why they’re still using steam. The newest generation networks operate just above ambient, so the fact they’re still using steam blows my mind.
Anything more to add to the list?
Looks like a Technology Connections playlist tbh.

Kinda related to insulation, but:
