heizungtechnischer

"zur Inbetriebnahme von Wärmezählern im ... und zur Aufnahme heizungstechnischer Daten". This means to read the metered consumption. No technical data of the installation are referred.

I am sorry to appear to argue with you, Johannes, as I was going to comment that I am not actually disputing the validity of your answer, but in fact, the more I think about it, I think there is a danger of heating-related implying measurements and data which could have a bearing on the heating requirements (eg. room size, ambient temperature etc), but not including the technical data from the heating appliance which I think is actually meant. Perhaps I am overthinking this, but that is my opinion.

Definitely one step up from 'heating-oriented'

from the examples "abfall-, angebots-, lern-, versicherungstechnisch" given by Duden (cf. my answer), "technical" has a different meaning (relating to a subjet) than normally. That's why I used "-related". And this is normal for such translations.

Some samples:
versicherungstechnisch {adj} actuarial; Versicherung {f} insurance;
messtechnisch {adj} metrological; Messung {f} [mit anzeigenden oder schreibenden Instrumenten] metering, measurement;
drucktechnisch {adj} typographic; Druck {m} pressure; impression, printing,
anlagentechnisch {adj} plant-specific; Anlage {f} plant, installation, system,
sicherheitstechnisch {adj} safety-related; Sicherheit {f} safety, security.

Actually I notice that you do not include technical in your own answer, so why is it suddenly so important? (Heating-related is not the same as technical.) My only hesitation in agreeing with your answer was that it sounded slightly stilted compared to Andrew's simple and elegant solution, and I generally try to give only one agree - to the answer I consider the best.

and translate both "heating data" you cannot distinguish between the technical data of the installation and the consumption including external influences (ambient temperature, construction of building, etc.). That's why it is better to have specific terms.

Your argument makes me more convinced about the rightness of Andrew's answer. From the point of view of a native speaker, and this may be only my reading of it, if you say heating data I would think of consumption figures, whereas references to technical data would relate this more to the installation data, wiring, currents, heating capacity etc. Therefore if we want the source and target audiences to get the same message, it would be better to do as Andrew suggests and omit the technisch suffix.

In German the suffix "-technisch" has a modifying function. In this example you cannot say "Heizungsdaten" (heating data) as this refer to the data of the installation. In fact, the "heizungstechnische Daten" are the metered energy consumption data, a totally different subject. Consumption (including external influences) instead of installation.

Please trust a native German speaker. And cf. Duden.

Gets an agree from me too.

totally in agreement monsieur

... has generally been deemed to be superfluous in previous similar questions. Hence, heizungstechnisch = heating
