Description

Cities play a key role in the mitigation of carbon emission, however there is a need for comprehensive tools able to support sustainable urban planning. The Smart City Energy platform powered by the web-based framework iGUESS® is a geospatial platform for decision support giving access to a series of calculation modules and providing visualization of energy related maps for cities.

This chapter presents an exemplary application of iGUESS for the combined assessment of housing electricity consumption and photovoltaic (PV) generation potential at the urban scale. The study provided relevant results for a test case study in Rotterdam city (Netherlands) for the integration of PV and assessment of the energy potential.
