Development of an integrated heating and cooling strategy

The aim of the project is to estimate the impact of various policy measures on the heat and cooling sector by integrating different sectoral bottom-up models in the form of explorative model runs (time horizon: 2020/2030). In this way, a quantitative tool and recommendations for action are developed that allow policy measures to be designed and argued for in such a way that the German government's differentiated targets for the heat and cooling sector can be achieved at the most favourable cost-effectiveness ratios possible. As part of a project extension in 2013, future scenarios for a climate-neutral building stock in 2050 that appear feasible from a technical/economic perspective are developed, transformation paths derived and political recommendations for action developed.
