Heat Network Locations (Existing and Planned) - Scotland

The Scotland Heat Map provides the locations of existing and planned heat networks. Both communal and district heat networks are included. Data about each network includes, where available, heat capacity size category, network name, status (either ‘operational’ or ‘in development’) and the main technology used (for example, ‘boiler’). There is only one point location for each network, the data does not show all connected properties or pipe layouts. Networks can serve domestic properties, non-domestic properties or a mixture of the two. Heat networks have the potential to reduce carbon emissions from heating buildings. Alongside other heat map datasets, information on existing and planned networks is used to identify further opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. For example, by connecting more buildings to an existing network or by replacing the energy source with a nearby lower carbon alternative. Data on heat networks comes from two sources. These are: the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Heat Networks (Metering and Billing) Regulations (HNMBR) dataset and Zero Waste Scotland’s Low Carbon Heat Database (LCHD). The most recent data available is up to end July 2022 for the HNMBR dataset (though the majority of the HNMBR data included in the heat map is up to end December 2018) and January 2022 for the LCHD. More information can be found in the documentation available on the Scottish Government website: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotland-heat-map-documents/苏格兰热力管网地图（Scotland Heat Map）展示了现有及规划中的热力管网点位，涵盖集中供热与区域供热管网两类。对于每一处管网，若有可用数据，将包含其热力容量规模分类、管网名称、状态（分为"运营中"与"开发中"）以及所采用的核心技术（例如"锅炉"）。本数据集仅为每处管网提供单个点位坐标，并未展示所有连接建筑或管道布局。管网可服务于住宅建筑、非住宅建筑，或二者兼具。 热力管网具备降低建筑供暖碳排放的潜力。结合其他热力管网数据集，现有与规划管网的相关信息可用于挖掘更多降碳机遇，例如将更多建筑接入现有管网，或使用周边低碳替代能源替换原有能源供给。 本数据集的热力管网信息源自两个渠道：一是英国能源安全与净零排放部（UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero）发布的《热力管网（计量与计费）条例》（Heat Networks (Metering and Billing) Regulations，简称HNMBR）数据集，二是苏格兰零废物机构（Zero Waste Scotland）的低碳热力数据库（Low Carbon Heat Database，简称LCHD）。其中HNMBR数据集的最新可用数据更新至2022年7月末（尽管本热力地图所纳入的HNMBR数据大多更新至2018年12月末），LCHD数据集的最新数据更新至2022年1月。更多详情可查阅苏格兰政府官网公开的文档：https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotland-heat-map-documents/
