Access resources based on your detox journey progress:

The first step to any detox is to have a clear understanding of your system: your city’s heat sources, heat demand and potential alternatives.

Rejuvenate your city’s heating system by feeding your district heating networks with clean, healthy heat sources that are most adapted to your territory.

For a more impactful detox that reduces heating-related toxins on a large scale, opt for decarbonised collective district heating (DHC) solutions.

For a successful #CitiesHeatDetox, cities must harness wellbeing through data, resources, legal frameworks, technology, incentives, and local cooperation.

Dive deeper on heat mapping

Are you at the beginning of your detox process?

Discover resources to help you gain a clear understanding of your system, including guidelines, documents, and tools for developing heating and cooling maps. Through comprehensive mapping and planning, identify potentials to decarbonise heat sources and reduce demand, as well as possible expansion or implementation of collective district heating networks.

Get a full city detox!

For a more impactful detox that reduces heating-related toxins on a large scale, consider a full-city approach. This means embracing decarbonised collective district heating (DHC) solutions. Expanding, developing, and renewing DHC in dense urban areas is the most impactful and cost-effective way of achieving large-scale use of low-carbon energy and improve air quality, while ensuring energy security.
