Sažetak
The identification and spatial distribution of heat demand for space heating is of high importance for the planning and design of district heating systems because around 70–80% of total final energy consumption by the household sector is consumed for space heating purposes. The aim of this research is the quantification and validation of heat demand distribution within a small municipality using a newly developed Bottom-up and Top-down heat mapping method. The Bottom-up mapping method is based on building features such as surface floor area, building height, building use and the share of the heated area while the top-down mapping method relies on energy balances and population distribution densities. These mapping methods are based on a GIS analysis of heat demand with high spatial resolution grids 100 m × 100 m. Two bottom-up scenarios have been created, one of which overestimate and the other which satisfy the actual heat demands of the buildings and the results of both are compared with the top-down analysis to quantify the impact of the assumptions and input data on the final result.
