## Reviews

### "A helpful tool for designing a geothermal-based district energy network." — 5.0/5

> **gilles** | *21 September 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - A good balance between synthetic and global information, and the complexity and depth of the analysis.
- Support for a wide range of project designs.
- A helpful database of buildings.
- Complete financial analysis
- A user-friendly, visually appealing interface
- Helpful reporting with relevant data
> 
> **Cons**: There are no particular disadvantages. However, the geothermal module could be improved further to account for borehole recharge and heating and cooling combinations.
> 
> I tested the tool for designing a 4th and 5th generation district heating and cooling network based on geothermal resources. I found it to be a very helpful tool for complete energy planning and design. The geothermal borehole dimensioning feature is particularly advanced and ensures thermal underground balance.

### "Great Tool for Heat Network Planning" — 5.0/5

> **Elina** | *21 September 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Planeto is very intuitive to use. It is easy to understand what you are doing and how the model is built. The support from Planeto was excellent. Whenever we needed help or had questions, they were always there to help.
> 
> **Cons**: As the software was still developing while we were using it, there some details that we felt were missing at the beginning. This was handled very well by the Planeto team, and all necessary functions were added in a short terms.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Planeto has been very positive. The software is easy to understand, and it brings both the technical and commercial sides of heat network planning together in one place. Once the the initial model is set up, it is very easy to test different scenarios, change assumptions and compare the results.

It replaces the scattered spreadsheets, GIS exports, and back-and-forth emails that typically slow down network planning with a single collaborative model where every stakeholder works from the same data.\n\nWith Planeto, teams start by analyzing the building stock in a target area, using advanced clustering to identify which buildings make the most sense to connect based on CO2 emissions or power consumption. From there, users can create and compare up to five different network scenarios side by side, each with its own mix of energy sources — geothermal, solar thermal, waste heat recovery, or booster heat pumps — to find the design that best balances cost, carbon impact, and feasibility.\n\nOnce a scenario is selected, Planeto's hydraulic simulation engine handles pipe sizing and network optimization, while built-in financial modeling automatically calculates CAPEX, OPEX, and ROI with full cash flow projections. All calculations follow SIA 384/6 2021 standards, so outputs are normative-compliant and ready to support permitting and financing conversations. Advanced reporting tools then turn the finished design into tender-ready documentation, cutting weeks out of the traditional planning process.\n\nBecause the platform is built for collaboration, engineers, utilities, and municipal stakeholders can share data, track changes, and align on decisions in one place instead of managing versions across email threads. The result is a faster, more transparent path from early feasibility studies to shovel-ready 5th generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) projects — helping organizations meet decarbonization targets without sacrificing technical rigor or slowing down delivery.\n\nPlaneto is developed by a Swiss energy engineering team based in Plan-les-Ouates, combining deep domain expertise in thermal networks with modern software design, and is available as both a standalone software license and paired with professional energy engineering services for teams that want additional support.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/c5e333ba-6c0d-4eff-a434-4cd08f7852db.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2113352/planeto","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2113352/planeto#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":4,"ratingValue":5.0},"offers":{"price":"800","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"EUR"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2113352/planeto#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Energy Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/915/energy-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Planeto","position":3,"item":"/software/2113352/planeto","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
