The building heat demand layer (Ospitaletto_heat.gpkg) covers 1,957 buildings with 17 attributes including footprint area, building height and volume, S/V ratio, functional use (residential/non-residential), INSPIRE-based typological class (SFH, s-MFH, l-MFH), estimated annual heating demand (MWh/year), distance to the DH network, and priority selection flags under two criteria. The DH network layer (DH_ospitaletto_network.gpkg) contains 21 pipe segments of the existing network. Both layers use the EPSG:3035 coordinate reference system. Heating demand was estimated through a data-fusion methodology combining building geometry (OpenStreetMap, cadastral data), climate inputs (Heating Degree Days, Southern Continental zone), energy consumption density benchmarks (INSPIRE for residential, Hotmaps for non-residential), and available metered consumption data for calibration. Network expansion priorities were assessed using two criteria: Criterion A selects buildings by maximizing the ratio of annual demand to distance from the network (kWh/y/m); Criterion B applies a 250 m buffer around the existing network and filters by minimum demand threshold (100 kWh/y).
