Shaping
future-proof
district heating.

heatbeat supports district heating operators in transforming their heat supply – from the initial idea to economic operation.

Our innovative heatbeat Digital Twin simplifies sustainable planning and ensures stable operation. Efficient, every day, and future-proof for decades.

You decide: Use our heatbeat Digital Twin independently as a comprehensive software solution — from network simulation to ongoing optimization of the network operation.

Or benefit from the extensive experience of our project teams in developing municipal heat planning, feasibility studies, and transformation roadmaps.

In addition, we reliably support you with all individual challenges in your energy system.

Shamrockpark Herne

An innovative, district heating and cooling network is being built in the Shamrockpark in Herne, funded by the BMWK. Our role is to map the buildings, the thermal network and the generators for heating and cooling in our heatbeat Digital Twin.

Brainergy Park Jülich

The Brainergy Park Jülich GmbH is developing a modern and innovative commercial district in which renewable energies and the coupling of energy sectors play a major role. For a coordinated energy system, heatbeat supports the planning by modelling and simulating the buildings and the heating networks.

Ultra-Low Temperature District Heating

What is ultra-low temperature district heating and what needs to be considered when developing concepts and planning ultra-low temperature district heating networks? With the help of our heatbeat Digital Twin, we demonstrate the most important points using a sample district heating network.

heatbeat Blog

Our Blog aims to regularly publish relevant information on district heating, district cooling, and energy in districts. This can include updates on funding programs (such as the BEW funding program), clear infographics, or simply interesting facts about district heating and cooling. Also part of our blog is the 'heatbeat Research Newsletter'. Every first Wednesday of the month, we feature a selected research article from the fields of district heating, district cooling, and energy in districts. We summarize the relevant research papers and highlight the key findings for you. All editions are also available here as a subcategory of our blog, making it easy for you to stay updated on the current trends and innovations in these areas and gain quick and easy insights into the current state of research.
