Energy monitoring vision

One tool which easily provides energy data and CO2 balances, an individual package of measures and scenarios to the energy conservation and energy use on municipal level and even on district level. It should bring together geodata with information on energy consumption and power demand as well as energy potentials. It should support all steps of the planning and decision making. Examples:

Currently, for energy planning and CO2 balances, there is a variety of data provider (local utility company, statistical offices on different level, private companies in the transport sector and so on). This means on working level to send requests to each provider which is not practical and a solution should be found on this. For the CO2-balances exists a state-wide tool BICO2BW which is used, but still requests are needed. Data on private buildings is not available or/and recorded (e.g. insolation, private energy supply), it also underlies data protections. According to the energy saving order we have the duty for public sector entities (> 500m²) and for some non-residential buildings to get energy cards. Public sector entities must publicly display the energy cards. For private buildings, the information on energy performance is only provided to the owner. Concerning, companies, it is also necessary to request any data. For Non-SMEs, an energy audit and an energy management must be carried out. It is a challenging task to get these private data and due to data protection, it is no public data and has to be anonymised or even aggregated.

Available data

Short explanation of the tables:

  • How is the data organized: It could be aggregated, detailed with specific locations, individually recorded per different units, spatial data like maps etc.
  • Who is the data provider: the entity or a person that provides the specific data (municipality, departments, agencies, businesses, individuals etc.)
  • How frequently is new data made available: regularly, periodically and how often, or on request.
  • Access restrictions: is the dataset free, open and available to public or are there any licences needed to use the data.
  • Data access point: URL of the data or contact person who is responsible for access to the resource.


Energy sources (production)

Each table provides information about a specific energy source and the data of that energy source. The tables about utility network types refer to the data of the networks of different energy sources.

Energy source/s Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Photovoltaics, Solar thermal, Fossil Fuel – combined heat and power
How is the data organized? Available as individual records
Who is the data provider? public utility company / energy distributor “SWLB”
How frequently is new data made available? Upon request
Access restrictions Only limited aggregated Data is available for open access. Only Data about mix of sources of electric power production. ( http://www.swlb.de/de/Referenzierter-Inhalt/Stromkennzeichnung-TOP-Lokalversorger-Praemien/Stromkennzeichnung-Gesamtunternehmen-2016-11.pdf )
Data access point Public utility company / SWLB


Utility network type/s electricity distribution, natural gas distribution, district heating
How is the data organized? aggregated
Who is the data provider? public utility company /energy distributor “SWLB
How frequently is new data made available? Upon request
Access restrictions restricted to municipality
Data access point Public utility company / SWLB


CO2 emission factors

The table provides information about the factors of CO2 emissions and the data that refers to these factors.

CO2 emission factors
How is the data organized? data available on state level for different sectors: municipal buildings, other buildings, transport, public lighting; aggregated
Who is the data provider? Ministry of Environment
How frequently is new data made available? every few years
Access restrictions free, open and available to the public
Data access point http://www.kea-bw.de/service/emissionsfaktoren/


Missing data

Nature of data Private buildings and private businesses: building envelope/ insolation, energy supply (if private plants), etc.
Why is it missing? Not recorded
Nature of data Private buildings and private businesses: Energy consumption
Why is it missing? Data restrictions (only available for the supplier)


Required ICT tools

For a tool which easily provides energy data and CO2 balances, an individual package of measures and scenarios to the energy conservation and energy use on municipal level and even on district level. It is important to have geodata with information on energy consumption and power demand as well as energy potentials.

  • Data should be available on the same level (as smaller the level the better, e.g. households).
  • Data should be recorded regularly (same cycle) and to develop a regularly sequence.
  • Data should be provided to the municipality – not on request to different institutions.
  • Data should be available/provided in a standardized format easily used for GIS analysis (e.g. some data only come as info via Email not in a table or something. It has to prepared for analytical usage, GIS etc).
  • As skills it would be necessary to have more GIS experts working in municipalities who are also have planning skills (Energy).
  • For CO2-balances exists a state-wide tool BICO2BW which is used by the municipality.
  • Data is also recorded for the European Energy Award as well as for the SECAP / CoM.
  • Data on private buildings is not available or/and recorded (e.g. insolation, private energy supply), it also underlies data protections.
