Release 2.7

Updated over 3 months ago

We have a few exciting updates to announce! Check out the details below:

New data: NESTA

We’re excited to bring you a new set of datasets from NESTA:

  • Shared Ground Loop Suitability

  • Heat Network Suitability

  • Air Source Heat Pump Suitability

  • Ground Source Heat Pump Suitability

This data complements Advanced Infrastructure’s renewable potential datasets already in LAEP+, allowing you to utilise data from both sources to get a comprehensive view of potential for renewable technologies.

Viewing the NESTA data at LSOA-level makes it easy for you to spot where individual heating systems would work best, versus where shared solutions could be the smarter choice. Then, get more granular and use Advanced Infrastructure’s building-level data to identify which properties are suitable for retrofit.

Find the datasets in the 'Renewable Potential' folder, and read more about the NESTA data here.

Updated data: All open datasets

We’ve just rolled out a major refresh of all open datasets in LAEP+. All land datasets, sociodemographic datasets, and more, are now updated on LAEP+ with the very latest versions.

You can view the metadata for each dataset by clicking the ‘i’ icon next to the dataset name.

Feature enhancement: Uploading data

We’ve updated our ‘User Upload’ feature to improve your experience. Moving forward, when you upload a dataset to LAEP+, a warning message will inform you if your file contains any invalid rows.

Your dataset will still upload to LAEP+ successfully, but any invalid rows of data will not be shown on the map.
