District heating / communal heat planning

According to the draft bill for the heat planning and for the decarbonization of heat networks (Wärmeplanungsgesetz - WPG), a mandatory heat planning shall be established. So the creation of heating plans is designated for cities (more than 100.000 inhabitants) until 30th June 2026 and for towns (less than 100.000 inhabitants) until 30th June 2028.

For supporting you optimally during the implementation of the municipal heating planning, BBSoft® enables the CAD-based planning of district heating conduits and -networks, their maintainance in a database and an editable presentation.

Further features:

automatic generation of nodes and conduits from 2D-/3D-polylines
visual assistance (display of length and angle) during creation of district heating conduits
an extensive node- and fitting library is available
welded joints, expansion cushions and fixed points can be created
inserting of U-arcs into dictrict heating conduits and subsequent editing is possible
initial and end station of flow and return of expansion cushions don't have to be identical
nodes will be inserted automatically in an existing conduit with adjustment and height interpolation
for recurring oparations you can compile individual samples
a cutting presentation with crossing conduits is possible (over the entire district heating section)
parallel branches are graphically considered
in the location plan the falling gradient can be interpolated between the nodes
in the longitudinal section additional nodes can be inserted to the section
flow and return and trench widths can be represented graphically in the location plan
turning points are represented with user-specific symbols
district heating conduits can be deployed in the loacation plan
information according to location and adjustment of the district heating elements is contained in the database
connection points of district heating nodes can be interchanged (the direction of nodes can be changed so)

required modules: BB-VGR, BB-LGGR, BB-LH
