Austria
Energy monitoring vision
In Austria energy data and climatic data are regularly collected, stored and published in various databases, reports and documents. Public and private organizations are constantly working on the evaluation and interpretation of these data:
- Statistic Austria, E-Control
- Climate- and Energy- Funds
- Federal Ministry (BML, BMWFW, BMVIT)
- provincial governments (statistical departments, GIS)
- Social partners and chambers (Chamber of Labour, Chamber of Commerce, Association of Industry, ÖGB)
- Universities and Research Organisations
- National and regional Energy Agencies
- National and regional energy utilities (electricity, gas, fuel)
- Cities and municipalities
- “EU-Regional managements”
- Energy- and climate consulting and project companies
- NGOs (e.g. Green Peace, Global 2000)
- City- and regional- planer, technical offices for energy, environment and traffic
With these collected energy and climate data, regular energy and climate monitoring reports (e.g. annual energy and climate reporting) and studies for specific events and topics, as well as for different levels (state, country, district, municipality) can be written.
- Energy and climate strategies
- Spatial and city planning, settlement development
- Mobility development
- Emission and energy balance
- Implementation of renewable energy systems
- Sustainable concepts (Sustainable Energy Action Plans)
- Energy accounting for public buildings
At national and regional level, energy supply companies (energy suppliers) are required to supply energy (natural gas, electricity, oil, fuels) and emission data to public statistics organizations. On local level, energy is used for various purposes (housing, transport, business, etc.). But, data on energy consumption is scarce and is distributed to individual consumer groups by random sampling. This methodology does not allow a local exact assignment. Within the framework of the CitiEnGov project, procedures and procedures are developed and tested which allow a better understanding of energy consumption. This results in a better basis for planning.
- Urban planning
- Sustainable Energy Action Plan -SEAP und Sustainable Energy Climate Action Plan –SECAP
- Energy consulting
The data sources should contain the following parameters:
- Local GIS pre-location per object and energy user:
- Use of the object (type of use, year of construction, persons, mobility)
- Energy efficiency and renewable energy (energy rating, solar / PV, building retrofit)
On the basis of these data energy saving planning, urban development, traffic and climate planning as well as consulting per objects can be supported. The collected data are not publicly available, they are only available to authorized planners and consultants of the region and municipalities. This data quality is intended to enable local decision-makers to set realistic goals, strategies and measures and to verify their successful compliance. Through the local energy agencies and public advisory offices, companies and the population can benefit from this common knowledge.

Missing data
Data for Urban Planning
For the city planning, the city of Weiz has its own GIS data management system which records and updates the local infrastructure (gas, electricity, water, waste water, district heating). Within the scope of spatial planning, the land, buildings, technical infrastructure and traffic situation for the strategic future planning of the city of Weiz are re-evaluated and documented every five years. The buildings (residential, commercial and public buildings) are recorded in the local GWR (building housing register) and kept as up-to-date as possible by the building authorities of the city of Weiz. Each building is a data set and contains, among other things, Address, type of building, gross floor area, energy rating, type of energy source, heating system)
Nature of data | GIS data management system |
Why is it missing? | Older (before 2000) infrastructure data of existing pipelines and installations have not been measured yet. These are only carried out for new road and infrastructure (additionally included) |
Nature of data | Spatial planning of the city of Weiz |
Why is it missing? | Detailed data on buildings, land areas, traffic data (car, truck), parking areas, public transport are missing. |
Nature of data | Building housing register |
Why is it missing? | Overall data (address (90%) building (70%), heating (20%), energy rating (<10%) are incomplete and would have to be reprocessed. |
What is missing for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements
Nature of data | Electricity and Gas consumption data |
Data Related issues | The providers do not provide electricity and gas consumption at all for any municipalities |
Nature of data | Transport |
Data Related issues | On a local level, there are only individually collected data through irregularly conducted traffic counts of individual traffic (cars). Energy consumption per km / household or km / operation are only available statistically. Local assignments (where the vehicles are stationed) are missing. |
Nature of data | Other fuels data (heating and production) |
Data Related issues | Energy carriers (fuels) per building are only available if these are entered in the GWR. Process energy (industry, trade, food, etc.) are largely non-existent and must be collected individually. This data is currently not stored centrally. |
Required ICT tools
Tool requirements for Urban Planning purposes
Each municipality must have its own GIS system for the local infrastructure (electricity, gas, district heating, roads, public lighting) and buildings (private, public and offices). Building, energy (heating, electricity, production) and traffic data (number: cars, bicycles, trucks, km-power: kilometres travelled per vehicle, energy demand: fuel / vehicle) can then be recorded and evaluated. These data should be kept up-to-date and should be checked randomly every 5 years.
Tool requirements for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements
In the regions of the Eastern part of Styria there are some municipalities that have developed a SEAP. A SECAP has not been developed yet in this region. The city of Weiz has to develop a corresponding SECAP out of strategies for energy actions. ICT tools will be developed for the documentation and presentation for political decision-makers as well as for implementation partners (citizens, enterprises). These tools can be used be used by other municipalities and regions and thus also to facilitate better comparability between the municipalities and the regions. At the level of Styria, these local SECAPs can be merged into a SECAP Styria with common goals and individual actions to achieve national and EU energy and EU climate goals.
Tool requirements for Energy Office purposes
The W.E.I.Z. as a regional energy agency uses ICT tools such as GIS, GWR, SECAP, together with the energy and environmental departments of the city of Weiz for the data input, data archiving and for the data analysis. In the context of events, workshops and media campaigns for the topics of "Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Climate Change", the constantly updated energy and climate databases are provided to the local actors as an argumentative aid for political and economic decisions on investments and projects. Through the publication of compact data and charts on the world wide web pages, newspapers, public screens and folders, the real situation of the energy demand, CO2 emissions and the climate change of the population should be made visible. Reactions and actions for sustainable improvement for energy and climate are to be incorporated into the databases of the respective energy divisions of the city. The energy agency is supporting the individual energy and climate promoters through technical and financial information.
Croatia
Energy monitoring vision
Croatia has the national base of energy consumption and savings in two national information systems: System for measuring and verifying energy savings (SMIV), Information system for energy management (ISGE). These systems are focal point for City of Split buildings energy management. According to National law on energy efficiency, all energy distributors have the obligation of conducting annual reports on energy consumption. These data are not available on local level, not even if payed. The problem could be resolved in high extent if remote reading devices were installed in all consumption objects, so there could be central energy unit to manage given data and conduct statistical energy reports. All other solutions could be based on changing the rules and policies at national level that can allow transparency of energy data on local level for at least payed usage and statistical research, and not deny the approach in regulative of business secret.

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:
- http://www.smartgeomatics.de/produkte.html#s2E-web
- http://www.smartgeomatics.de/images/loesungen/quartiersanierung/SG-Flyer-2E-Web_Monitor.pdf
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.

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.

Energy monitoring vision
In our opinion it is important to build the energy monitoring system for all governments which would be able to review the energy consuming of the buildings one by one. Meaning of energy monitoring: Energy efficiency review and representing the connected solutions. It defines the energy efficiency opportunities and represents the results. The energy monitoring also focuses on restructures which do not require any investments. The main goal is to follow the consumption and to identify the methods which can reduce the energy usage. With the help of the monitoring system we are able to see the consuming data by months in every building and also the areas which need development. The steps of monitoring:
1. Checking the basic data of buildings- 2. Checking energy saving methods. 2.1 Checking for methods which do not need any investments 2.2 Checking for methods which need a minimal input 2.3 Checking for methods which need a high-volume input 3. Examination of achieved measurements 4. Define measurements to achieve 5. Following the execution
During and after the execution of energy measurements it provides advantages for the following of the results because:
- Increases the efficiency of the planning procedure and the execution of measurements.
- Examines and corrects the energy measurements and also the quality of the measurement series
- Eliminates the gap between the goals and measurable goals
- Expands the experience connected to the evaluation of the project
- Optimises the division of human resources and tries to save the resources
- Increases the quality of the communication
We have to concentrate on those indicators which are well-established and the analyzation of them do not need serious energy professional skills. Considering the budged efficiency and the clarity we have to implant the following indicators into the institutions:
- Decrease of the electrical energy consumption (kWh/year)
- Decrease of heating energy consumption (GJ/year)
- The ratio of the renewable energy sources related to the whole energy consumption (%)
- Number of people who participated in the awareness-raising programmes (number of people))
- Number of awareness-raising programmes (piece)
From January 2017, every government agency must hire an energy specialist who reviews the energy consuming of the buildings and gives advice about energy efficient investments. With the help of the monitoring system it would be easy and obvious how to follow the consumption of the buildings. Difficulties: Lack of resources, there is no available financial support

Missing data
Nature of data | In case of local governments: Energy monitoring system |
Why is it missing? | Not marked, it is not needed to hire an energy rapporteur - There is no registration system of energy invoices - It is needed but local governments did not make the energy certification of the buildings - There is no registration system for energy - There is no motivation to reduce energy consumption - In proposals, it is not a priority to create an energy monitoring system - There is no motivation for managers of buildings and institutions - There is no law to obligate |
Nature of data | In case of people: automatic smart meter |
Why is it missing? | There is no energy registration system which is easy to use or available - Creating SmartHome systems is really expensive - The priority is energy efficiency: insulation, replace windows - Lack of awareness-raising programmes |
Required ICT tools
In case of local governments: Developing an energy management system, Hiring an energy specialist group at every local government. In case of people: Installing automatic smart meters in households, creating and developing energy aware view. Required tools: Resources, legal and political legislation. The equipment of the smart meters must be available for the public. In case of local governments, the consumption could be checked in buildings, the energetical condition would be followed.

Energy monitoring vision
The energy monitoring vision is declined on three specific application scenarios:
- Energy monitoring for the purposes of the municipal Urban Planning office
- Energy monitoring for the fulfilment of Sustainable Energy Action Plans requirements
- Energy monitoring for the purposes of the municipal Energy office
Energy monitoring for Urban Planning
Urban Planning in Italy, but also in the Emilia Romagna Region and more specifically in the territory of Ferrara over the last decade, has clearly shifted its attention from the expansion of territory to urban regeneration and refurbishment/retrofitting of buildings, due to many concomitant factors (economic crisis, decline in births, excess supply of housing, need for smaller residences, soil consumption and all the problems related). In this contest, being aware of the state of the existing building stock and its energy properties is crucial in order to:
1. Plan structural interventions through public works with municipality funds (three-year public works plans) and external funding (regional and/or European funds) or through partnerships with providers (e.g. for geothermal -or gas- network extension); 2. Design information and awareness raising on activities aimed at reducing costs and pollution (atmospheric emissions but also urban heat islands); 3. Provide targeted incentives (economic incentives, volumetric incentives), as did the Building Regulation of the Municipality of Ferrara), or fiscal incentives, as foreseen in the new Urban Planning Law being approved.
The aim is thus to obtain, for all the buildings in the municipal area:
- The aim is thus to obtain, for all the buildings in the municipal area:
- Main use for the building (+ in the case of residential use: the number of people living there and age; for other uses: the type of activity);
- Annual energy consumption (electricity, cooling, hot water, heating);
- Type and status of building installations using energy (boiler, heating system, air conditioning, heat pump) and producing it (renewable energy sources, RES);
- Information about building renovation and energy refurbishment of buildings
- Energy performance data (e.g. energy performance certificates)
Through the knowledge of these data, it is possible to identify where and how to act and to define energy planning on a municipal scale. An added value of project CitiEnGov could be to start:
- Intersectoral collaboration within the administration, in order to produce and acquire harmonized data; But not just data, also know-how and services to the citizen;
- Similarly, a process between the partners involved (entities, providers, region, stakeholders) to define a protocol for mutual exchange of data
Energy monitoring for Sustainable Energy/Climate Action Plans (SEAP/SECAP) requirements
Energy data useful for developing and monitoring a SEAP can be summarized in:
- Energy building consumption divided by sector of activity (residential, public illumination, industry, transport, agriculture) and by type of fuel;
- Local renewable and non-renewable thermal production data (photovoltaic plants, biogas plants, waste treatment plants, thermal solar plants, vegetable oil, biofuels, other biomasses, geothermal energy);
- District heating network data;
- Comparison of electricity and thermal consumption per capita in relation to other cities in the same region;
- Consumption data of the municipality buildings;
- Consumption data for the Industry sector outside of ETS (Emissions Trading System);
- Energy saving data obtained for each year by energy operators (e.g. ESCO)
Energy monitoring for the Energy Office
For the Energy Office activities it would be important to have accurate information about heating and air conditioning systems for all the buildings in the municipal territory. Emilia Romagna Region is developing CRITER Census, a regional cadastre for thermal plants and installations which should include data on: georeferenced installation position, nominal power, number of devices, energy carrier, plant type (heating, cooling, heat pump).

Missing data
What is missing for Urban Planning purposes
In general, the interest of administrators at every level on energy data has increased, but there is still no structured plan for the production, maintenance, transmission and standardization of building energy data.
What follows are some considerations on the current status of data availability:
- There is a good availability of data concerning buildings (surface area, volume, type of use, residents);
- In terms of consumption, data is available from some sources (the National Tax Agency), but there are difficulties in transmitting data; sometimes data is not of good quality; and finally, data are not harmonized with municipal data (toponym, land register);
- Emilia Romagna Region owns and manages the database of energy performance certificates, but there are difficulties in obtaining these data even for municipalities (and only on request). Moreover, data is partial and of poor quality;
- Regarding the energy data in renovated building, a monitoring was started in January 2016 (georeferencing the intervention, typology, expected energy performance, use of renewable sources);
Nature of data | monitoring of the accounting systems for energy consumption in multi occupied buildings |
Why is it missing? | The municipality does not have an archiving system; Perhaps available from other Entities (ENEA, National Tax Agency) but not available at present |
Nature of data | Regional Cadastre of thermal plants |
Why is it missing? | The cadastre in Ferrara will be active from 2019 - http://energia.regione.emilia-romagna.it/servizi-on-line/criter |
Nature of data | Wood/Pellet Stove consumption |
Why is it missing? | They are not censed |
What is missing for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements
Nature of data | Electricity consumption data |
Why is it missing? | The provider does not provide electricity consumption about category: TRANSPORT for small-medium cities such as Ferrara |
Nature of data | Natural gas consumption data |
Why is it missing? | The provider does not provide data divided by SECTOR but by type of contract (use kitchen, use of kitchen and heating and HDW, tertiary). The data do not specify if consumption is directed to single unit building or shared unit buildings |
Nature of data | Other fuels data |
Why is it missing? | Data are estimated for the municipality on the basis of the provincial consumption data provided by the National Petroleum Bulletin - http://dgsaie.mise.gov.it/dgerm/bollettino.asp |
Nature of data | Local Energy production data |
Why is it missing? | There is no single referent who collects and provides data |
Nature of data | Fossil fuels outside the public network |

Required ICT tools
Tool requirements for Urban Planning purposes
In the municipality of Ferrara the management system of building permits has been implemented with a section dedicated to the monitoring of energy data related to building renovations (and new constructions). The aim is the monitoring of improvements in the energy performance of the buildings. Moreover, a new webgis platform is under construction, which will include a section - called “energy dashboard” - about energy data consumption of buildings, offering the possibility of visualizing a map of real annual energy consumption at the building level. About the ICT tools, the Municipality needs:
- GIS support for data produced and maintained by the municipality;
- Treatment and standardization for data produced by other entities;
- Support in the definition of technical specifications for data transmission with other public administrations;
Tool requirements for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements
A very useful tool would be one that every two years allows to compare the goals of the SEAP between the city of Ferrara and the other experiences of the SEAP in the neighbouring territories in terms of proposed objectives, results of implemented actions, savings targets and renewable energies, CO2 emission factors use.
Tool requirements for Energy Office purposes The energy office needs to improve the management software currently used for consumption forecast and the final energy reporting (for each thermal season) of the buildings under its management (municipal buildings). The software should simulate the building's energy needs during the occupancy hours for individual buildings and help in defining the correct allocation of energy consumption for individual users in multi-user buildings.

Poland
Energy monitoring vision
Neither City of Bydgoszcz (PP2) nor the Municipality of Grodzisk Mazowiecki (PP5) have an energy monitoring database and ICT tools to properly perform effective energy monitoring and management. This is the reason why we (PP2 and PP5) need to create and establish an Energy Database. This will be the baseline for data harmonization in Poland. We already took further steps and prepared a concept of the Energy Database. In regards to the municipal entities, data on energy consumption is available to obtain in the form of invoices and bills. Private sector isn’t obliged by law to share any data on energy consumption (including data about buildings, transport and RES). This is why our Energy Database concept is designed only for the monitoring and management of the municipal entities, although the system will remain open – it will be possible to add modules in the future if required. For example, in the future we would like to implement into the platform data on buildings (year of construction, cultural heritance, volume, floor area etc.) and data on transportation.

Slovenia
Energy monitoring vision
Public sector entities are obligated by national energy law to obtain data about energy consumption and costs once per year and to establish energy management system. We would need similar management system for public lighting and public transport. Energy consumption for transport presents appx. 1/3 of final national energy consumption which is the reason to involve transport in energy management system. For public transport monitoring data about fuel consumption per vehicle in public transport is needed. Till now only data about number of km/vehicle was recorded. Public transport energy monitoring should later be implemented in private sector.
According to Decree on limit values due to light pollution of environment energy consumption for public lighting at municipal level should not exceed 44,5 kWh/person/year. To meet the requirements of the Decree monitoring for public lighting is needed. Further it would be also good to have: data about buildings envelope and other buildings data (year of construction, cultural heritage, volume, floor area etc.), standardised electronic bills for easier data acquisition, standardised bills for some fuels (heating oil, wood chips etc.), water consumption and trash. Because some bills also contain other data and thus costs between buildings or municipalities are not comparable.

Missing data
Buildings
Nature of data | Volume of buildings |
Why is it missing? | Because there is mostly no 3d models of the buildings |
Nature of data | Building’s envelope structure (roof construction, walls construction, windows etc) |
Why is it missing? | For buildings with energy cards energy efficiency can be obtained but not envelope structure. For buildings without energy card there is no data |
Nature of data | Other data for simulations of energy efficiency of buildings (indoor temperature, regulation, occupancy schedule of the building etc) |
Why is it missing? | because it is hard to collect and is changing chaotically |
Public Lighting
Nature of data | Xml invoices are not standardised, but data is mostly available |
Why is it missing? | Xml Invoices would be better because it is way easier to collect data from xml docs compered to for example pdf docs. Some data is missing because there is no fine for companies that doesn’t include all the necessary data. The standardised form of xml invoices was generated in general (for all invoices – for example telecommunication, insurance, energy…) and because of that are not well defined for particular field. |
Public Transport
Nature of data | Measured fuel consumption (how many litres of fuels have been filled in gas station) |
Why is it missing? | For public transport monitoring data about fuel consumption per vehicle in public transport is needed. Till now only data about number of km/vehicle was recorded. Public transport energy monitoring should later be implemented in private sector. |
Required ICT tools
Public Lighting
For public lighting data we would need (and we are already developing) the program to parse xml. bills and extract the useful data. Further we would need to find a way (it is possible to do it manually but it takes time) to get the data from different cadastres of public lighting and implement the useful data into our software.
- Cadastre of street lighting should be updated in some municipalities
- We will need to finish software to parse different kinds of xml. Documents
Software for some municipalities is already developed.
Public Transport
Software tool for public transport energy monitoring (data regarding energy consumption in transport sector at yearly level). We have identified the need to upgrade the existing tool that we already use for data collection of energy consumption in public buildings also for transport sector. The data collection of transport sector is still under developed and several data is missing. Through the tool development we will be able to collect the data about the fuel consumption/vehicle, number of km/vehicles recorded within single municipality. On a basis of collected data we will be able to elaborate economical, energetical and environmental indicators. This remote web tool will be accessible to final users (public transport performers) and will facilitate also the implementation of strategies at municipal level (SECAPs, local energy concept elaboration). The users of this tool will be trained how to handle the software and how to insert the needed data.
