Uncover the power of heat mapping as a strategic planning tool to assess heat demand, analyze potential heat networks, and determine carbon impacts. Utilize GIS data, building attributes, and energy algorithms for precise demand modeling and supply-demand balance.
E N D
WHY? To provide a strategic planning tool for: • Assessing heat demand in a given area • Analysing that demand in terms of potential heat networks determine potential supply chains • Acting as a basis for determining carbon impacts
Input Data • GIS Buildings Shapefile (Master Map) • Building Use Class Data (Gazetteer) • Differentiation between Heated and Unheated Buildings (Postcode)
