BLUE represents cooling

RED represents heating

The CURVING ARROWS represent energy flows in Sankey diagrams

The energy flows interlink in CIRCULAR PATHS to represent connected infrastructure networks, connected sectors and circular resource flows (circular economy) and a variation on our New Zealand Māori ‘Pikorua’ which represents ‘the path of life’ and ‘strong relationships’.
Meet the Team
The people involved in our wastewater network heatmapping studies have got different backgrounds and different skills, but they ALL have also got one thing in common: EXPERIENCE, LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.
Our Global Ambassadorships
At Applied Energy Planning, we’re proud to serve as ambassadors for innovative energy projects shaping a sustainable future.
We are honoured to support the Low2High project, which is helping 30 high-temperature district heating sites in Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia integrate low-grade or waste heat technologies. This initiative focuses on methodologies that enable efficient district heating using renewable energy and waste heat.
Additionally, we are the only ambassador outside of Europe for the Act!onHeat project. This groundbreaking initiative accelerates strategic heating and cooling planning across European cities and regions. By engaging municipalities, Act!onHeat delivers tailored support packages, pre-feasibility studies, and financing solutions to enhance the implementation of efficient heating and cooling systems.
These partnerships reflect our commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions worldwide.
