The HEATatlas provides the complex energy relationships, e.g. potentials of renewable energy sources, infrastructure and dynamic heating and cooling demands in high spatial resolution, thus enabling long-term energy and infrastructure planning. Based on this, automated analyses were developed for defined administrative processes at various spatial levels \u2013 from energy strategy and monitoring to site development. The following points are fundamental to the successful implementation of spatial energy planning:<\/p>\n

– Low effort and competence requirements for users in the local authorities<\/p>\n

– Legal coverage of data and applications with regard to data protection<\/p>\n

– Efficient provision through digital systems and automatically generated analyses<\/p>\n

– Comparability of results through standardized methods<\/p>\n

– Continuity and quality assurance through standardized data sources<\/p>\n

– Openness to technology to ensure flexible planning tools<\/p>\n
