Energy Atlas Leipzig – Consolidating, Visualizing, and Sharing Data on Renewable Energies

Content

In April, the focus will be on the Energy Atlas, a joint creation of the CUT and SPARCS projects designed to streamline and optimize the development of energy district concepts.
In this presentation, the two project managers, Julia Schließauf (SPARCS) and Sebastian Böhm (CUT), both from the Digital City Unit of the City of Leipzig, will demonstrate where the most significant challenges in the technical work process currently exist and how these can be addressed in an iterative manner, allowing specialist departments to focus more effectively on their core tasks.

The Key Learnings

Influenced by City-Specific Characteristics

Every city has specific characteristics (e.g., number of green spaces, types of housing and buildings, etc.) and demographic changes that directly impact the city administration and its processes and measures.

Overview Through Analysis of the Current State and Potential Analysis

To develop, process, and implement further measures, the city requires a comprehensive overview of existing functionalities (as-is analyses) and potentials (potential analyses) due to the city’s complex structure and the numerous stakeholders involved. These form the fundamental framework and should therefore be allocated sufficient time, as a significant amount of individual data typically needs to be collected and synchronized.

The Atlas as a Repository for All Questions

The creation of an atlas, specifically an Energy Atlas in the case of energy supply, which consists of map material and shows the existing information, such as building information, suitability for sustainable energy supply, light irradiation, suitability of green roofs, etc., and potentials of a city, is suitable for the presentation of all these issues.

Diverse Requirements Are Necessary for Implementation

In addition to cross-functional teams and the pursuit of growth, fast feedback loops are also necessary for this implementation. An iterative approach is suitable for this purpose, whereby a product or process is continually refined and adapted until the respective team is satisfied with the result.
