Definition
供暖 (gōng nuǎn) refers to the system or process of supplying heat to a building or area, like central heating. Unlike 保暖 (bǎo nuǎn), which means 'to keep warm' (e.g., with clothing), and 取暖 (qǔ nuǎn), which means 'to warm oneself' (e.g., by a fire), 供暖 is about the infrastructure providing heat.
