Scotland Heat Map interactive website

The Scotland Heat Map Interactive website is a free, publicly accessible online version of the Scotland Heat Map. It is an interactive map and reporting tool that allows you to examine where and how much demand there is for heat energy from buildings across Scotland. Heat demand estimates are presented for areas ranging from 50-meter grid squares to whole council areas. The website also lets you see where there are existing and planned heat networks and sources of energy supply, alongside other relevant data.

Most of the website's data can be downloaded in various formats, including, where appropriate, web mapping services, web feature services, text files, and/or image files. 

Guidance on how to use the Scotland Heat Map interactive can be found in its quick user guide.
