A new simulator to identify renewable heating solutions adapted to your home

France Urban Heat is a public service supported by ADEME. Initially dedicated to connecting to district heating networks, it is now extending its support to all renewable heating solutions. This term refers to heat produced from renewable energies (geothermal, solar thermal, biomass...).)

How does the simulator work?

The https://france-chaleur-urbaine.beta.gouv.fr/chaleur-renouvelablenouveau simulator allows individuals and condominiums to discover, in just a few clicks, which renewable heating solutions are best suited to their home.

Based on some information about the building, it identifies the options that can be considered and directs users to the advisors who can accompany them in their project.

Why choose renewable heating?

Heating accounts for the largest share of energy consumption in buildings. Renewable heating solutions reduce the use of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Depending on the location of the building, its characteristics and its current heating system, different solutions can be envisaged. The simulator is a first step in identifying possibilities before embarking on an energy renovation project.
