01What is being requested

Research into the feasibility of a source network as an alternative to individual heat pumps in the De Polders district. The goal is to arrive at a substantiated choice for the final heat supply through two tracks (comparison of source network concepts and support for residents with short-term central heating replacement).

The Municipality of Houten is looking for information regarding market parties capable of drawing up a design for a source network (at concept or sketch level) for the municipality based on their own technology and design principles, and additionally providing insight into feasibility, costs, risks, scalability, and boundary conditions. • Provide insight into feasibility, costs, risks, scalability, and boundary conditions.

The heat network option will not be further investigated as a heat alternative for the entire district, except possibly in combination with a source network.Important
Account must be taken of the building quality (insulation standards) of homes for low-temperature heating.Important
