01What is being requested
The research focuses on providing a substantiated choice between a source network or individual heat pumps for the De Polders district. The trajectory includes the technical and financial investigation of a maximum of 3 source network variants and providing support to residents who must replace their central heating boiler in the short term.
The Municipality of Houten is looking for information regarding market parties capable of drawing up a design for a source network (at concept or sketch level) for the municipality based on their own technology and design principles, and additionally providing insight into feasibility, costs, risks, scalability, and boundary conditions. • Provide insight into feasibility, costs, risks, scalability, and boundary conditions.
02Strategic insight
<ul Focus on the technical-economic feasibility of various source network concepts, where the balance between TNK (Total National Costs) and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is crucial. Ensure an approach that maximizes support and participation from residents and building owners, as affordability and social acceptance are decisive. Take into account the specific needs of different target groups, such as VvE's, social housing (Woonin), and utility buildings.
