F|Heat - A QGIS Plugin for Municipal Heat Planning

Description

Description

F|Heat is a modular software solution designed to help small and medium-sized municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) plan a sector-coupled, decarbonised energy system. Initially designed as an official extension (plug-in) for the geoinformation system QGIS, it is used in the context of the legal requirements of the Heat Planning Act (WPG). The aim is to accelerate municipal heat and energy planning by providing an open software solution with transparent and comprehensible principles. This solution enables rapid preliminary planning of energy supply options. These results can then be used for detailed planning and feasibility studies.
