14. Reducing waste heat:
District Heating

15. Results: District Heating Potential
 EU legislation requires all member states to map heating and/or
cooling demands
 New EU Heating and Cooling Strategy to be released in January
 Dublin City Heat Map reveals over 75% of small areas have a
high enough heat density to be suitable for DH
 Docklands area is ideal location for first phase development
 Already work done on DH in Docklands
 Pipes already in the ground
 Waste to Energy Plant – 90 MW waste heat
 New developments planned & will be DH enabled in SDZ

16. Results: District Heating Potential
Heat Density in
Docklands
SDZ >470 TJ/km2

17. Results: Energy Poverty Areas
Three influencing factors affecting energy poverty, as defined
by the DCENR:
 Ability to pay energy bills
 Cost of energy
 Energy efficiency of the home
Mapped areas at most at risk of energy poverty according to
 Unemployment/Unable to work (ability to pay bills)
 Energy efficiency rating of the home
 Cost of energy per household
