Abstract

In the ‘Model Munich’, Stadtwerke München has collected spatial data on buildings, parcels of land and building blocks. This digital twin of the City of Munich is primarily used to answer questions related to the transition of the heating sector. Therefore, building-specific heat demand, utilized energy sources and technical building properties, but also regionally resolved supply potentials for groundwater heat pumps, air heat pumps, heating networks, etc. are included. Moreover, the ‘Model Munich’ is connected to the bottom-up simulation model Invert/EE-Lab, which employs a nested logit approach for building-specific calculations of long-term scenarios regarding the change in heating systems and renovation activities. A specific application of the ‘Model Munich’ is municipal heat planning. In 2021, Stadtwerke München agreed with the City of Munich to utilize this model for municipal heat planning. Within this collaboration, numerous simulation runs were conducted using Invert/EE-Lab, from which valuable insights could be gained. This contribution provides an overview of the architecture of the ‘Model Munich’. In addition, results of the simulation runs are presented, aiming to achieve climate neutrality by no later than 2045 in accordance with the German Heat Planning Act.
