Functions:

Data on heating systems by building

address (regular update)

Individual building and building

group levels

Pre-qualification of technical and

economic feasibility

Evaluation of environmental impact

Contracting offer development (with

comparison of alternatives)

Allows to:

Valorize knowledge from studies

and pilot projects

Reduce the costs related to data

collection and reports

Communicate more effectively with

decision-makers and implementers
