Automated planning and design software for district energy networks

As decarbonization efforts accelerate around the world, municipalities and engineering firms who provide district energy heating and cooling services must act more quickly than ever on their energy transition plans. Unfortunately, these organizations face an array of challenges. While their engineers possess the necessary skill and domain knowledge, they’re often burdened with legacy processes that involve paper maps and spreadsheets. These tools naturally entail manual work that is slow, inaccurate, labor-intensive and not scalable to large areas. Even when they have dynamic spreadsheets and geospatial tools, these digital tools are usually siloed between departments, so processes are still time-consuming and prone to errors.

So how do local authorities make high-profile investment decisions on major district energy solutions? With Comsof Heat’s proven district energy planning and design concepts. The Comsof Heat software provides an integrated, accelerated approach for district energy network designers. With our advanced algorithms, you can visualize a new district heating network, compare scenarios, project a rollout timeline, and even generate a bill of materials, helping you build the strongest possible business case. Discover how to create more valuable modeling, from a comprehensive overview of all pipe system lengths to network deployment costs, and from roll-out stages to defining different heat tariffs to calculate return on investment. Comsof Heat can help cities and engineering firms generate a financial projection of district energy heating and cooling projects for decades to come.
