5. – Stage 4 (non-heat network considerations) 
6. – Stage 4 (Heat Networks Approach) 
7. – Non-Domestic Approach 
8. – Data Forum – data and data sharing principles 
9. – QGIS demonstrations 
10. – Heat Network Zone Summary (Falkirk) – QGIS demo 
11. – Waste water heat extraction 
12. – Strategy support 
13. – Delivery plan support

This workshop provides an overview of what are Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies, the Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies (Scotland) Order 2022, the LHEES Guidance and LHEES Methodology.

This workshop provides an overview of stakeholder engagement toolkit and guidance produced for facilitating a workshop with stakeholders. It also outlines stakeholder engagement templates provided to support stakeholder engagement activity.

This workshop provides an overview of resources that summaries national policy, a toolkit for reviewing of local and regional policy and directions for local policy setting.

This workshop covers stage 4 of LHEES with a specific focus on the heat networks approach. The recording of this workshop contains content from a workshop held in 2021 and a follow up workshop held in 2023. With 2023 content covering the updates to the Heat Network Approach that occurred between V03 and V04 of the LHEES Methodology.

This workshop provides an overview and demonstration of the Non-Domestic Analysis Detailed Practitioner Approach issued in 2022.

This workshop covers data and data sharing principles involved with the preparation of an LHEES. With contribution from Scottish Government on sharing core data sets, Ordnance Survey on sharing OS data through the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA), Energy Savings Trust on Home Analytics and the Portfolio Energy Analysis Tool (PEAT) plus a question-and-answer session.

This workshop provides demonstrations of how to perform the GIS functions referred to in the LHEES Methodology using QGIS as the platform.

This workshop provides demonstrations of how to complete the ‘Heat Network Zone Summary’ table in excel for one potential heat network zone identified in Falkirk using QGIS as the platform.

This workshop provides an introduction and overview to the Waste Water heat extraction opportunities app. Developed by Scottish Water to assist local authorities identify waste water infrastructure that may be suitable as a source of low carbon heat. At 22mins the Scottish Water GIS Extranet – Licence for use & Declaration was also mentioned.

These two workshops focus on the development of the Strategy document in light of the LHEES Guidance and outputs generated from stages 3 and 4.

These two workshops focus on the Delivery Plan with Part 1 looking at the creation of the Delivery Plan and Part 2 looking at a framework for Delivery Area identification and also considerations relating to onward project development and delivery once the Delivery Plan has been published.
