Module 3 – Energy mapping and data collection to identify long-term opportunities for district energy systems

This module presents the background of energy mapping, a step-by-step introduction to a rapid assessment tool and subsequent data collection needed. The module is composed of five parts:

• Part I. Context for energy mapping
• Part II. Definition of energy mapping
• Part III. Benefits of energy mapping
• Part IV. Characterization of energy mappings
• Part V. Best practices from the Netherlands, China and India

After completing Module 3, participants will be able to:

• Describe, understand and discuss the role of energy mapping in district energy planning
• Characterize main types of energy mappings in district energy development
• Recognize and be able to apply key steps in the development of energy mapping across various levels of detail
• Become aware of best practices in district energy mapping
