Measure It,

You Can't Improve It

One goal is to improve this kind of maps:

Sunshine WP3 • Standardization, interoperability and

methodologies for energy savings

• Liaison with SDOs CEN TC287 (Geographic Information) –

ok CEN TC371 (EPBD) – to be finalized OGC and INSPIRE – members of WGs

• CityGML ADE for Energy Work undertaken together with SIG3D http://en.wiki.energy.sig3d.org/

Sunshine WP4• Buildings Efficiency Certification

estimation• Set of software modules to:

1. Import buildings geodata into database2. View/editing buildings data3. Check completeness on the field (app)4. Calculate “energy maps”

• Modules 1, 2 and 3 already deployed• #3 needs pilots to organize “on-the-field”

campaign for quality checks• #4 already developed and now in testing

Buildings’ data of Ferrara have been collected, but some attributes are still missing or need to be checked (e.g. “uses of building”).

An on-the-field campaign is organized, involving few people from the local Faculty of Architecture, for twenty days.

The staff uses smartphones and tablets to edit attributes via WFS-T service, and updates data on PostGIS database.

(Geo) data models

“Stakeholders consistently reported that they spend more time on data formatting and cleaning than they do on conducting analysis.

The lack of standard data formats, terms and definitions is a significant ongoing barrier to realizing the full utility of empirical information about building energy performance.”

INSPIRE

Have you ever heard about the INSPIRE Directive and Implementing Rules ?

Do you know that INSPIRE Technical Guidelines for “Buildings” already include some (optional) Energy properties?

INSPIRE and “Energy”INSPIRE is a European Directive (2007/2/CE) defining principles and Implementing Rules for the sharing of interoperable data and services among public organisations in EU

Green Button

http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/06/f16/bpd_recommended_data_fields.pdf

Today, more than 60 million US households and businesses can use Green Button to access their own energy usage data from their electric utility, and a growing set of companies are offering products, services, and apps that use Green Button data.

http://greenbuttondata.org/

Green Button is an industry-led standard to answer to a White House request: provide customers with easy access to their energy usage data in a consumer-friendly and computer-friendly format.

Conclusions

• There are a lot of available standards, models, tools, methodologies, but …… we need real data about real buildings, at large scale

• Geodata represent the best example of interoperability at data and ICT levels

• Models for data interoperability: BEDES CityGML INSPIRE Green Button

www.sunshineproject.eu

• Focus on interoperability to facilitate the integration of datasets from different sources (e.g. cadastral, energy consumption data, energy certificates, …) to estimate energy performance at large scale

• In 2015 we will have a CityGML extension for Energy with buildings properties for:• Physics and materials• Energy Systems (HVAC)• Occupants

www.geosmartcity.eu

• At the same time, we are going to implement an open data hub where to host geodata about buildings: Municipal Residential Tertiary

… and to provide tools to facilitate CoM signatories to collect, process and publish actual data related for the Monitoring of Emission Inventory

Of course, we are conscious that problems related to energy are not just a matter of “interoperable data models” or “open harmonised geodata” …

… not only in India !
