The ODHeatMap tool: A Global Open Data District Heating Model

Regarding the tool:<br/><br/>The objective of the tool is to extract building footprints to calculate building surface area, and with that estimate buildings heat demand to assess District Heating feasibility. All of this using open data.<br/>The model is particularly useful when lacking data availability and accesibility.<br/>It is set up as a 4 step workflow and the script allows for user flexibility and adaptability of the code.<br/>All temporary outputs are saved in this notebook content directory: "/content/" and all geodata files are in GeoPackage format (.gpkg)<br/>For more information on the tool, visit the paper<br/>Help us improving the tool by sending comments via email<br/>Check out more about the Sustainable Energy Planning and Management group at AAU.
