Heating networks are our passion
Heat – electricity – synergy
Thinking about the entire life cycle right from the start
Around 50 % of total energy consumption in Germany is used for heating, hot water and cooling – correspondingly, around 40 % of CO₂ emissions come from the heating sector.
Decarbonizing the heat supply is therefore key to achieving the climate targets.
With its investments, expertise and ecosystem, EXAVY supports the housing industry, municipalities and energy cooperatives in implementing sustainable heating concepts. The heating transition will be decided locally.
The local heat register provides the basis for the right strategy.
A good data situation, documented in a local energy register combined with GIS analyses and potential studies – is crucial for the start of an efficient grid expansion. Detailed information on heat requirements and available heat sources in the area is important.
EXAVY creates a local heat register with potentially significant heat sources, sinks and a forecast of the load profiles for the entire life cycle.
Every successful heating strategy is local, integrated and sustainable.
Feasible heating network projects must meet a range of technical, environmental and regulatory requirements in order to be considered sustainable. Without an integrated strategy, heating network projects will not be implemented or will not be economically resilient in the long term.
EXAVY generates the integrated heating strategy in compliance with legal requirements and technological possibilities.
Variant comparison, simulation and decision.
Typical solution areas for local heating projects range from generation to distribution and transfer of heat and possibly cooling in the choice of grid temperature and in the context of decentralized approaches and load profiles. This complexity can be resolved using simulations.
EXAVY creates network variants, simulates their key operating figures and provides approaches for the optimal economic decision over the lifetime.
The puzzle is coming together: technically, economically and financially
A viable grid variant is still in theory. The task now is to secure financing and delivery conditions, draw up contracts and set up the operating company.
EXAVY secures the project financing, binds the strategic suppliers as a contractor and manages the project development.
Planning and construction from a single source. The right partners on board.
The complexity of a heating network project does not end in theory. The implementation project requires integrated planning, comprehensive project management and construction control as well as intensive quality assurance.
EXAVY leads the project management in HOAI phases and ensures project quality from all perspectives: economically, in terms of time and the fulfillment of technical specifications.
Bringing an operator model to life.
The operation of a heating network requires a procedural foundation for the asset service. This is where the processes are anchored in order to keep a network alive and secure the contractual relationships.
EXAVY manages the commissioning and establishment of processes, in particular for securing contractual and funding relationships.
