Municipal Heat Planning: Heat Demand & Retrofit Priorities in Rheinbach
Germany's Heat Planning Act gives every municipality a deadline to plan its heat transition. This dashboard maps building-level heat demand, the energy mix, and retrofit priorities for Rheinbach.
Germany has given every municipality a legal deadline to plan its heat transition — but the data to do it usually arrives as a stack of incompatible spreadsheets. This dashboard pulls it onto one map for the town of Rheinbach: the heat demand of all 14,961 heated buildings, the streets and blocks where demand runs highest, the dominant energy source per block (still 38.7% natural gas), and the buildings flagged as retrofit priorities where action matters most. Built to support the municipal heat plan required under Germany’s Heat Planning Act (WPG 2024), it turns the path to a climate-neutral heat supply by 2045 into something a planner can actually see and work from. The data comes from the open Energieatlas NRW and Wärmestudie NRW (2024).
