Heat mapping & district heating simulation tool

Heat mapping & district heating simulation tool

Our director innovation & sustainability Pedro Pattijn attended the IBPSA congress BS2021 in Bruges. There he gave a presentation on 'Heat mapping & district heating simulation tool'.

Heat mapping

Heat mapping is the creation of a heat zoning map. This is defining the most economically interesting option for sustainable heat supply based on the expected future heat demand for all buildings in a city. The map includes a division of the buildings into categories: collective heating, individual heating,... .

District heating

District heating is to conduct a technical-financial feasibility study for a heat grid and heat grid design.

The Bijloke site in Ghent: Energetic transformation for a sustainable future

The Bijloke site in Ghent, steeped in rich history and diverse architecture, presents a unique challenge in the quest for a sustainable future. The diversity in use, ownership and age of the buildings on the site makes energy optimization and fossil-free heating a complex task. Nevertheless, the City of Ghent and Hogeschool Gent joined forces to draw up a well thought-out plan, with special attention to the historical context and heritage value of the buildings.
