Heat Map

The London Heat Map is an interactive tool that allows users to identify opportunities for decentralised energy projects in London. It builds on the 2005 London Community Heating Development Study. All information has been updated and the map is now in a user friendly format using an interactive GIS system that was originally developed by LDA for www.londonbrownfieldsites.org

The Heat Map provides spatial intelligence on factors relevant to the identification and development of DE opportunities: major energy consumers, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, energy supply plants, community heating networks, heat density etc;

It is publicly accessible to anyone with an interest in DE. Local authorities can use the map as the starting point to developing detailed Energy Master Plans to inform DE policies in their LDFs and climate change strategies. Developers can use the map to help them meet London Plan DE policies (connection into an existing network or extending their own communal heating networks beyond their site boundaries).

The London Heat Map will be regularly updated and fully interactive by allowing users to upload and share energy data. It will evolve over the next three years alongside the DEMaP Programme and become more useful and sophisticated as boroughs and others start inputting real energy data into the map.
