Key benefits

Comprehensive support for heat planning in line with legal requirements

Support with baseline assessment, potential analyses and clear visualisation in line with statutory requirements.

Flexible service packages tailored to your data and needs

A modular service package combines data validation, exports, visualisation and the provision of a geoportal, tailored to your particular situation.

Extending the use of valuable geospatial data

Comprehensive analysis of existing GIS data, targeted completion of missing data and provision of geospatial data for municipal heat planning.

Geoportal makes heat planning transparent to the public

The geoportal presents heat planning results to the public, improves transparency and supports public participation.

CAIGOS 360° Dashboard supports monitoring and committee work

The dashboard brings together key figures, status information and analyses on municipal heat planning for use by committees, local authorities and utility providers.

Services to support the efficient and targeted delivery of municipal heat planning

Germany’s Heat Planning Act requires all local authorities to prepare detailed heat plans for a more efficient and sustainable heat supply. These plans are intended to enable a more climate-friendly energy supply and promote the use of renewable energy. This means that local authorities and heat network operators have an active role to play in the energy transition.

The aim is to develop comprehensive heat plans that assess current and future energy demand, integrate renewable energy sources and optimise heat networks. The status and results must be communicated transparently and made available to the public.

We support local authorities and local utilities in preparing these important plans and visualising the results. As requirements and available data vary, we offer a flexible selection of services that can be combined into a tailored package.

How we support you

What’s included in the municipal heat planning service package

Baseline assessment and data export

A baseline assessment of the heat supply requires local authorities and local utilities to collect detailed data on existing infrastructure and energy sources. Key aspects to be analysed include:

  • Heating systems: Data on the type, age, capacity and efficiency of heating systems in buildings
  • Heat networks: Information on the coverage, condition and connection density of existing networks
  • Energy sources: Details of the energy sources used, including fossil fuels and renewable sources
  • Consumption data: Energy consumption data for assessing efficiency and potential savings
  • Building data: Characteristics such as insulation, year of construction and building type that influence energy demand
  • Renewable energy potential: Availability of local renewable energy resources
  • Electricity generation facilities: Facilities that could contribute to the heat supply

We assess which of these datasets are available in your CAIGOS GIS and can export them for further processing.

Identifying required data using a checklist

Any required data not held in CAIGOS GIS can be requested from the relevant bodies. Our checklist provides a clear overview of the additional data that needs to be obtained and helps ensure that all required information is accounted for.

Visualising heat planning results in CAIGOS GIS and CAIGOS Globe

All results from the municipal heat planning process, such as the potential analysis, can be imported into CAIGOS GIS. This keeps the visualisation of municipal heat planning up to date. To give all stakeholders easy access to the latest information, we recommend presenting the results in CAIGOS Globe.

Visualisation via a geoportal

A geoportal improves transparency for the public and serves as a central source of information on the municipal heat planning process and its results. If required, the geoportal can be integrated into your website, giving the public access to visualisations and information approved for publication.

Integration into CAIGOS 360° Dashboard

CAIGOS 360° Dashboard supports efficient monitoring for activities such as committee work. It allows you to bring together the information you need and view tailored analyses at a glance.
