Type a Zurich address into EnerGIS and the city returns what that specific building may heat with: whether it lies in an existing or planned thermal-network zone, whether a heat pump is feasible, how suitable its roof is for solar. Published by the city's environmental office since 2018 and rebuilt in spring 2023; the underlying municipal energy plan is released as geodata.
