District heating and cooling data
District heating and cooling are central to decarbonising heat, and data drives their planning and operation. This guide covers heat-network data and how to source it.
Available across the EU. DataSupplier sources and delivers this data in all 27 European Union countries — including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland — and across the EEA, in the format and cadence you need.
Why heat-network data matters now
Heat networks are expanding as cities decarbonise heating. Planning, operating and optimising them needs data on demand, sources, efficiency and the network itself.
The data landscape
- Demand: heat and cooling consumption profiles.
- Network: assets, flows and losses.
- Sources: heat-source and waste-heat data.
- Efficiency: performance and emissions.
Common use cases
Network planning and expansion, demand forecasting, operational optimisation and loss reduction, and decarbonisation and reporting.
Sourcing considerations
Data spans operators, sensors and statistics, with varied definitions, so harmonisation is central. Customer-linked consumption needs aggregation under the GDPR.
Delivery and governance
Operations want telemetry; planning uses batches. Provenance matters for decarbonisation reporting.
In a managed model
A managed partner can combine demand, network and source data with appropriate aggregation.
Combine demand, network and sources
Heat networks are key to decarbonising heat, and the data, demand, network flows and losses, heat sources and efficiency, comes from operators, sensors and statistics with varied definitions, so harmonisation is central. Customer-linked consumption needs aggregation under the GDPR.
Cadence and provenance
Operations want telemetry while planning uses batches, and provenance matters for decarbonisation reporting.
