A comprehensive capability for the design and management of district energy networks
Today’s environmentally conscious society is constantly searching for more sustainable solutions for the provision of heating and cooling services. When compared to other heating and cooling technologies, district energy is more energy efficient and therefore contributes to a more sustainable future. District energy is already widely available in some countries, and it is set to become more widespread as pressures mount for more efficient heating and cooling services to be more widely deployed.
The Bentley solution for district energy covers the whole lifecycle of network design, management and operation, as well as in-depth modeling and analysis of the network’s behavior. Easily adaptable to industry standards, it offers tools to cover all aspects of managing a district heating or district cooling network.
The district energy solution delivers:
- Decision support for operations and maintenance workflows
- A GIS-based asset register
- A fully configurable geospatial data model for district energy infrastructure
- Network documentation, facility mapping, and facility management
- A collaboration and engineering content management environment
- Powerful reporting capabilities
- Thermo-hydraulic calculations for any type of high-pressure gas and liquid network
- Extensive planning calculations, such as automatic pipe diameter sizing
- Calculation of investment and operational costs
- Integration with work management and asset management systems
