In 2012 the Municipality of Ferrara, Italy, signed up to the Covenant of Mayors (CoM), the mainstream European movement involving local authorities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2020 by increasing energy efficiency and through the use of renewable energy sources. The GHG target reduction defined in Ferrara is 25%, with two thirds of the saved emissions from buildings; one of the actions of the CoM Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) is related to the Sunshine project for the implementation of the "Buildings energy pre-certification" service, using geodata already available at cadastral and other authoritative sources. The local municipal GI department has been deeply involved in the modelling and creation of a public repository of detailed geodata on building energy performance, based on the draft CityGML Energy ADE. The "Building Energy Pre-certification" service is an automatic process to rapidly estimate the the energy performance of buildings at large-scale, using geographical, physical and thermal properties of buildings, together with other parameters related to the context (e.g. climate zone, urban pattern, etc), also using typologies and outcomes defined by the TABULA project. The service is intended to efficiently run the service, a dedicated mobile application ("Map4Data") was implemented to allow professional users to check "on-the-field" the correctness and completeness of buildings' geodata properties (e.g. age of construction, uses, heights, floors, etc) and let them add or modify such properties, if missing or needed, via OGC WFS-T interface. The App is currently used in Ferrara, Lamia, Trento and is going to be extended.
