This report provides guidance on the structure and methods for preparing of a map of the national territory, identifying heating and cooling demand points, district heating and cooling infrastructure and potential heating and cooling supply points.
Three best practice guidelines have been prepared by JRC on how to: (1) assess the economic energy efficiency efficient potential at the national level, (2) perform installation level assessments, and (3) create heat maps, following the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) Article 14.
