[[How to plan low temperature district heating systems?]]

== Projects ==
=== Hotmaps project === 
The overarching goal of Hotmaps is the development of an open source heating / cooling mapping and planning toolbox and to provide default data for EU28 at national and local level.

=== Reuseheat project ===
The ReUseHeat project showcased replicable models enabling the recovery and reuse of excess heat available at urban level, with the aim to increase energy efficiency of district heating and cooling systems in cities across Europe.

=== SimStadt ===

SimStadt is the name of an urban simulation environment developed at HFT Stuttgart and of a project of the same name, which in turn is the continuation of a project completed in 2015 (SimStadt). The final report of SimStadt 2.0 is available in German here.

=== INDIGO Planning tool ===

Indigo DC planning tool (IndPT) supports the optimal design of new DC systems, the assessment of existing systems’ potential for performance or efficiency improvement and the comparisons with building specific cooling systems. Consumers, distribution, production and storage of the cooling energy in DC system, are linked together in the planning tool to obtain the available solutions. Life cycle analysis (LCA) framework is used for economic feasibility and climate impact assessment. The tool may also be used to estimate the size of energy storages based on the availability of resources and variation of demand and costs.

=== City Energy Analyst (CEA) ===

The City Energy Analyst (CEA) is an urban building simulation platform and one of the first open-source initiatives of computation tools for the design of low-carbon and highly efficient cities. The CEA combines knowledge of urban planning and energy systems engineering in an integrated simulation platform. This allows to study of the effects, trade-offs, and synergies of urban design options and energy infrastructure plans.

PLANHEAT Tool (D2.4)

The first integrated version of the PLANHEAT tool, including all three modules is available for download!   After more than three years of development, the PLANHEAT tool is ready to be used by cities and companies working with cities on their heating and cooling plans. It supports your city to find decarbonising pathways for its heating and cooling system by showing economically feasible scenarios.

=== Waste heat map === 

ReUseHeat partners Halmstad University and Aalborg University have mapped European Union’s urban waste heat potential in a new map (UK included). This unique tool displays all low-grade heat sources available in cities and includes also industrial waste heat and heat from waste incineration plants.
