What Our Customers Say

With VICUS Districts we were able to precisely determine the heat gains of our low-temperature network — and prove that the project is economically viable compared to insulated networks.

Tim Theophil

Project Manager, RBS wave GmbH

The steady-state analysis capabilities and the detailed ground model are unique. We haven't found anything comparable in any other software.

Lea Bogischef

Project Engineer, Goodmen Energy

Digitizing existing pipe systems is one of the biggest challenges for utilities. VICUS Districts is a supertool for that!

Andreas Kaiser

Director, Goodmen Energy

Digital twins and simulations are essential for efficient heating networks. VICUS Districts opens up entirely new perspectives for us and network operators.
