Spatial National Heat Study for District Heating Potential in Northern Ireland

The Department for the Economy (DfE) commissioned Building Energy Informatics to conduct a Spatial National Heat Study for District Heating Potential in Northern.

This explores the potential for district heating networks in NI to identify geographical areas with the highest potential for development. To ideally include spatially modelled analysis of heating demand to identify suitable candidate areas. This includes a computational model for estimating capital and operating costs (capex and opex) and assessing the economic viability of district heating throughout NI and comparing different
