Average Confidence Level of Heat Demand Estimates (500m Grid) - Scotland

The Scotland Heat Map provides estimates of heat demand for all properties in Scotland. To indicate reliability, each estimate is assigned a confidence level from 1 to 5. Level 1 is least reliable and level 5 most. This is mainly determined by the presence of information that would directly impact on heat demand in the estimate’s source data. For example, estimates based on data that includes building type, age and floor area would be more reliable than estimates based solely on floor area derived from mapping data. This raster dataset gives the average (mean) confidence level of properties within 500m x 500m grid squares covering all of Scotland.

The Scotland Heat Map is a tool to help plan for the reduction of carbon emissions from heat in buildings. Average confidence level is an indicator of reliability of the heat demand estimates within an area and allows planners to decide whether they meet their needs. The map is produced by the Scottish Government. The most recent version is the Scotland Heat Map 2022, which was released to local authorities in November 2023.

苏格兰热力图数据集提供了苏格兰所有物业的热需求估算。为确保可靠性，每个估算值均被赋予一个从1到5的置信度等级，其中1级为最不可靠，5级为最可靠。此等级主要取决于估算源数据中是否包含直接影响热需求的信息。例如，基于包含建筑类型、年龄和楼面面积的数据进行的估算，其可靠性将高于仅基于来自测绘数据得出的楼面面积估算。此栅格数据集提供了覆盖整个苏格兰的500m x 500m网格方块内物业的平均（均值）置信度等级。苏格兰热力图是一套辅助规划减少建筑碳排放的工具。平均置信度等级是区域内热需求估算可靠性的指示器，允许规划者判断其是否满足需求。该地图由苏格兰政府制作。最新版本为2022年苏格兰热力图，已于2023年11月向地方当局发布。更多详细信息可查阅苏格兰政府网站上的文档：https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotland-heat-map-documents/。
