Short summary

Space heating makes up around 67 % of the average energy consumption in german households. While this number decreases with increasing energy standards for buildings, many heating systems still run on fossil fuels. Here, we present a method to realistically estimate the heating demand of a building, This estimated heat demand is connected to a modelled geothermal energy source, for calculating, if geothermal energy can supply the needed heat, and if more such installations influence each other.
