In a world grappling with environmental challenges, the concept of circularity has emerged as a promising solution. Circularity promotes resource efficiency and sustainability by extending the lifespan of products and materials. In the construction industry, circularity is gaining traction to reduce the environmental impact of buildings.

REPLACE Heating Matrices can help building occupants to decide on which heating system to install once they decide to renovate. The matrix can show which type based on renewable energy sources or a connection to district heating. The type of system would also depend on the thermal quality of the building.

How to make the right decision when you need to change your heating system? This calculation tool, developed within the REPLACE project, can help you to objectively compare heating system for your building over the entire operating life. The resulting actual costs and environmental energy performance can support your final decision.
