The Scotland Heat Map provides estimates of annual heat demand for almost 3 million properties in Scotland. Demand is given in kilowatt-hours per year (kWh/yr). Property level estimates can be combined to give values for various geographies. Both domestic and non-domestic properties are included. This dataset gives the density of heat demand of properties for each 2011 Data Zone (in kWh/yr per meter squared). Heat demand is calculated by combining data from a number of sources, ensuring that the most appropriate data available is used for each property. Density of demand is calculated by dividing the total heat demand for all properties in the Data Zone by the area of the Data Zone (in m2). The data can be used by local authorities and others to identify or inform opportunities for low carbon heat projects such as district heat networks. The Scotland Heat Map is produced by the Scottish Government. The most recent version is the Scotland Heat Map 2022, which was released to local authorities in November 2023.
