Assignment from the VVSG (Flemish Association for Cities and Municipalities) for drawing up an inspiration map for heat zoning. Ingenium is part of a broad consortium under the wings of VITO and Agifly together with study bureaus Sweco, Antea and Kelvin Solutions.

To be carbon-neutral by 2050, the Green Deal wants Europe to emit a net 55 percent less CO2 than in 1990 by 2030. Building heating plays an important role in this. A heat zoning map per municipality or area - now 'inspiration map' - is a first step in preparing for the transition. For concrete policy, however, a heat policy plan is needed. What are the focal points in this? What role does psychology play in this story? And what is the link with mobility? In recent years, we at Ingenium have put a lot of effort into drawing up heat zoning maps. Per city/municipality or area, we examine which sustainable heating solution is the most interesting from a technical and especially an economic point of view. A distinction is made between collective systems and individual systems. Meanwhile, the heat zoning map has been renamed the inspiration map, with the Flemish Association of Cities and Municipalities (VVSG) leading the way. Ingenium is a partner in this story, together with VITO, software company Agifly and several other study agencies. With the inspiration map, local governments can inform citizens which form of heating is most interesting per street and even per building.
