To support the planning and design processes, they sought software that could provide insights into network performance and costs. 

Results

IQGeo’s Comsof Heat software proved to be a valuable tool for 050 Buurtwarmte, offering fast execution of complex calculations and detailed technical information. The software's training and support from our engineers were highly beneficial in understanding its capabilities and utilizing it effectively. The personal approach and quick feedback from the technical support engineers played a significant role in their decision to choose Comsof Heat.
