Hotmaps is an online tool that offers heating and cooling demand data in any European region as well as the local renewable energy potential to meet this demand. These data help authorities develop heating and cooling strategies in line with renewable energy sources at local, regional and national scale. Data are available for European Union countries and United Kingdom.
Hotmaps allows the following actions:
- Identify the location of current heating and cooling demand as well as supply on a map
- Identify renewable energy potential to supply heating and cooling for a selected area
- Identify waste heat potential from industrial facilities within a selected area
- Estimate the potential for efficient district heating options within a selected area
- Estimate and compare the costs of individual heating vs. district heating options within a selected area
- Develop scenarios for decarbonisation pathways of heating and cooling
Hotmaps is an open source online software.
