Building-level demand atlas
Heat, hot water and cooling demand per building with hourly profiles, delivered as GIS layers you can load into your own systems.
Area of expertise
Energy demand analysis & district mapping
Uncover where a network makes sense across your building stock. We map heat and cooling demand building by building, so investment goes where the load actually is.
What to expect
- Deliverable
- Demand atlas + priority zones
- Scale
- Neighbourhood to region
You cannot size a network you have not measured
Granular demand mapping
We build a detailed demand picture from cadastral data, building registries, construction year, use type and metered consumption, and produce hourly demand profiles per building, aggregated into zones you can actually plan around.
Spatial load analysis
We pinpoint where the dense loads sit, which streets could reach viable linear heat density, and which industrial sites reject enough waste heat to anchor a whole district — the detail you need to decide whether a network is a good idea or an expensive one.
Future-proofed modelling
Retrofit programmes, new development, electrification of heating and the cooling demand that climate change is bringing. We model how all of it shifts the load curve a network must serve over its 40-year life.
4-step workflow
A rigorous, engineering-first sequence designed to take your district energy project from blank canvas to constructible, tender-ready reality.
Data intake
We take whatever exists — registries, meter data, GIS, spreadsheets — and audit its quality.
Demand modelling
Physics-based profiles per building, calibrated against real measurements where available.
Zoning
Clustering into candidate network areas and testing them against density thresholds.
Handover workshop
Your team is walked through the maps and keeps the underlying data layers.
What the study delivers
Everything it takes to design a tender-winning project
Linear heat density mapping
Street-by-street density, so you can see immediately which corridors clear the economic threshold and which never will.
Priority zones & anchor loads
A ranked shortlist of network areas, each with its anchor customers, indicative connection potential and the order to approach them in.
Scenario projections
Demand in 2035 and 2050 under retrofit, densification and climate scenarios, so today's sizing does not become tomorrow's stranded asset.
We needed a solution that could support our design decisions and optimize projects from the ground up. We're finally able to do just that — saving time, improving accuracy, and ensuring we make the best possible impact with each project.
