Map of Germany
Germany was geographically divided into approx. 5,000 points, each covering an area of 10 km x 10 km. This makes it possible to discretely display information at real locations on the map of Germany.
By merging boundary conditions from various standards and climate data with the installed generation capacities for electricity production at a given location in Germany, transparency and comparability are finally made possible.
For heating load according to DIN EN 12831, the standard outdoor air temperature is shown for the undefined point in time during winter.
For cooling load according to VDI 2078, the five cooling load zones (CLZ 1, 1a, 2, 3, 4) can be displayed for the extreme summer daily profile, with their maximum outdoor air temperature and maximum horizontal global radiation.
For summer comfort according to DIN 4108 Part 2, the three summer climate regions (A, B, C) are divided in a similar way to the cooling load zones.
For annual energy demand according to DIN 18599, the Building Energy Act [GEG, 2023] stipulates that only the climate test reference year 04 from the Potsdam location is used. Here, only monthly inputs for global radiation and outdoor temperature frequencies are applied.
For climate data of the test reference years (TRY), the 15 regions can be displayed, and selected climate variables for today and for the future can be chosen.
To provide information about the CO₂ intensity of the electricity mix in Germany, data from the Market Master Data Register [MaSTR, 2025] can be shown based on the installed peak generation capacities in Germany.
By distributing the population living in Germany [inhabitants], the population density [inhabitants/km²] [Statistics, 2022] can be visualized on the map of Germany. This allows, for example, installed peak capacities [Wp] for solar or wind power in Germany to be scaled to a unit per inhabitant [Wp/inhabitant]. This way, every individual can transparently compare how their 400 Wp balcony power plant relates to the installed peak capacity in Germany (2021: solar power ??? gigawatt-peak equals 39 Wp/inhabitant).
Other possible displays include elevation above sea level, postal code areas, and selected place names.
The map of Germany will be designed interactively and dynamically for you.
