Scotland Heat Map Download Service (WFS)
A Web Feature Service providing downloadable spatial data from the Scotland Heat Map, a tool produced by the Scottish Government to support planning for the reduction of carbon emissions from heat in buildings. The service allows users to obtain the underlying geographic data behind the map rather than viewing it only as an image. The most recent edition referenced is the Scotland Heat Map 2022. The dataset is used by local authorities, planners, and organisations assessing heat demand, existing heat networks, and opportunities for low-carbon heat supply across Scotland.The Scotland Heat Map is a tool to help plan for the reduction of carbon emissions from heat in buildings.
