Leading the Way in Sustainable Heating & Cooling Planning

At Applied Energy Planning, we provide mapping and modelling services to help cities and organisations to plan energy solutions that reduce carbon emissions, save water, and improve urban environments. Whether you’re shaping energy policy, designing efficient buildings, or managing wastewater infrastructure, we offer the expertise to help you make an impact.

Our Heat Planning Services

Wastewater Network Heatmapping

Identify key opportunities for recycling of free heat energy by heatmapping wastewater networks. These are collection systems for the enormous quantities of free waste heat that everyday have been sent 'down the drains'. 

Heating & Cooling Modelling for Multiple Buildings

We create heating and cooling models for multiple buildings, campuses and district heating networks to allow different scenarios to be considered and transparent decision making.

Training and Capacity Building

Applied Energy Planning provides tailored training and coaching to empower organisations with the skills to develop, implement, and optimise practical low-carbon energy solutions for lasting resilience.

Partner with Us for Planning of Low-Carbon Energy Solutions

Our services provide you with transparent information so transparent decision making can happen.

For Energy Policy Makers

Accelerate the transition to becoming a low-carbon city & set impactful energy policies.

For Building Designers & Owners

Implement sustainable heating and cooling systems that reduce operational costs & carbon footprints.

For Wastewater Utilities

By mapping the heat within your sewage system, you can drive urban sustainability and be an energy hero.

The Untapped Energy Right Beneath Our Feet

Differences between cities with and without sewage heat recovery systems

Click to expand and see how to recycle this extra energy rather than flush it away. 

Cities in all regions of the world must transition away from fossil fuels. Wastewater networks can play a big part in this transition!​

  • Sewage utilities have access to thermal energy, but without proper awareness or planning, this energy resource is flushed away, unused.

  • The wastewater sector has energy to offer, while buildings need sustainable heating solutions, but these sectors rarely collaborate.

  • Energy policy makers are often unaware of the potential of sewage heat recycling, so it is ignored in energy strategies and action plans.

  • ​The lack of collaboration between public infrastructure managers and private building owners limits opportunities to tap into this energy source.

It's time to stop wasting this available energy.

“Nick Meeten from Applied Energy reported on the feasibility of using wastewater as a heat source for an Auckland Council leisure center and potential residential development. Nick’s work exceeded our expectations. It was delivered on time and as per our scope while being clear and easy to understand.

In addition, the way he presented his work, along with his track record and widespread knowledge of the industry provided confidence in his work. We look forward to working with Nick again.”
