模範解答は下記でした。
District heating systems, in which multiple buildings share an energy source, are becoming more common globally. Supporters claim that because district heating is more energy-efficient, it helps diminish global warming. Furthermore, district heating systems undergo routine maintenance, resulting in less likelihood of failure. On the other hand, critics argue that installing district heating systems in areas with pre-existing buildings makes the process costly.
分解して見ていきましょうか。
3段落ですが、4文ですね。
分けるとこうですね。
第一段落
District heating systems, in which multiple buildings share an energy source, are becoming more common globally.
第二段落
Supporters claim that because district heating is more energy-efficient, it helps diminish global warming.
Furthermore, district heating systems undergo routine maintenance, resulting in less likelihood of failure.

まず、やることは本文から該当文を抜くことです。（文中の不要な箇所は端折ります）
第一段落
However, there are more and more communities using what is known as “district heating.”
The special feature of this system is that a central energy source is connected to buildings
第二段落
When many buildings share the same heat source, less heat is needed than when heating buildings separately.
This reduces global warming effects.
district heating systems are regularly checked and kept in good condition.
第三段落
Creating new district heating systems involves placing lots of underground pipes,
construction in such places needs a large amount of money.
これらをつなげていきます。
There are more and more communities using what is known as “district heating.” The special feature of this system is that a central energy source is connected to buildings. When many buildings share the same heat source, less heat is needed than when heating buildings separately. This reduces global warming effects. Additionally, district heating systems are regularly checked and kept in good condition. However creating new district heating systems involves placing lots of underground pipes. So the construction in some places needs a large amount of money.
これで87語です。語数は60語～70語なので、削ります。

言い換えます。（そして、60以上、70以下にします）
Many cities are using systems called “district heating.” For the systems, the central energy source links buildings. Sharing the same central heat source, less is necessary than heating separately. This makes an impact on global warming. Additionally, the systems are checked and maintained routinely. However creating them demands installing many underground pipes. So the construction in some places costs a lot of money.
