INSPIRE ‐ Geospatial World Forum 2015

WORKSHOP

The Urban Energy workshop - “GeoSmartCity Hub: a data platform for supporting the Covenant of Mayors initiative” + “Development of the CityGML Application Domain Extension Energy for Urban Energy Simulation”
Monday, 25 May 2015, 1500 – 1730 hrs

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The objective of the workshop is twofold:

to discussing about the need for open and harmonized spatial data to support energy policies and local energy plans (e.g. Covenant of Mayors): the GeoSmartCity “hub” represents a set of services to publish, discovery and access detailed information about spatial data related to energy action plans at local scale
to present the OGC CityGML Energy Application Domain Extension (ADE) developed by an international and interdisciplinary working group, aiming to facilitate and promote urban energy modelling

The first part of the workshop will be dedicated to the GeoSmartCity project (www.geosmartcity.eu/), with the proposal for a reusable platform where to collect and share detailed and harmonised data, with spatial components related to specific themes like buildings, road networks and underground utility networks.

The second part will be focused on the development of the CityGML Energy ADE, by introducing its main objectives and processes and presenting first results and tests performed by the consortium (http://en.wiki.energy.sig3d.org/index.php/Main_Page). The aim is also to collect feedback from external speakers representing different communities. The outcomes will be used as an effective way to finalize the ADE and involve new projects to test the proposed model, in different scenarios.
