This document updates the initial M6 draft, refining the objectives and activities of the USES4HEAT demosites. It incorporates monitoring data and early R&D outcomes to define a KPI panel for tracking progress across key work packages. The updated baseline analysis of the demosites includes energy needs, ambitions, and potential alternative layouts. These insights support future replication planning and have informed the finalized project KPI and monitoring strategy.

The deliverable provides a comprehensive overview of the demo site, analysing the current energy flows
and demand profile within the district heating network while reporting on general activities undertaken during the project’s first year at the Riva del Garda demo site. Additionally, it reviews the future deployment plans for the USES4HEAT innovative technologies and establishes a baseline to track progress throughout the project timeline. A detailed action plan, complete with timelines and responsibilities, has been defined, including a review of the technical and non-technical aspects to be considered.

The deliverable provides an overview of the demo site and the pre-engineering work toward its sizing and operational optimization considering not only the main waste heat source but also additional heat
generation opportunities. The document presents also the main background behind the project, analyzes the current energy flows and demand profile within the district heating network while reporting on general activities undertaken during the project’s first year and the contribution of the key partners.
