Why develop a District Heating Barometer?

District Heating statistics are often not available in a timely and precise fashion An overview of the development of the sector is important for policy makers when planning legislative measures Such an overview is also beneficial for the sector itself, providing a quick and different insight Tool provides flexibility and more possibilities for communication

How to develop a District Heating Barometer?

Create a working group of national experts Identify and define key parameters Coordinate with other sectors and stakeholders Develop a tool to collect and disseminate the information

Challenges faced during development

Creating a working group of experts from different countries was not difficult, however incorporating those countries which do not already have a developed infrastructure proved difficult Identifying and defining key parameters was very difficult

Data is gathered differently in different countries for historical reasons or due to different frameworks Most participants as associations rely on voluntary contributions of their member companies Data processing also differs from country to country Striking a balance between hard facts and the sentiments of the sector Time restrictions
