Notes

• Best practice document - It is a document essential to raise awareness, in particular showing interoperabilities issues and examples. It does not need to cover everything, and may just cover the parts where we already have done real tests (real practices). Documentation should include: application, test case, test data, proof that it works in at least two systems. The UML diagram of the Energy ADE is the other output. Volker mentions that the XSD implementation may be also provided, but as an example of possible implementations.
• More examples to test - Pascal: We need more complex datasets available as examples to test the Energy ADE. How to press the case that CityGML-EnergyADE will be actually used widely as interchange format?
  • Volker: datasets from some cities in Germany are already available, but just geometries with very few attributes (Building function)
  • Elisa Colleague: We can generate probabilistic attribute values for some examples of the Energy ADE. One thermal zone per building. We’ve already done that for other ADEs
• Licence during the development - Apache protects also the name "Energy ADE"
  • Olivier: Why don't we use the CityGML licence?
  • Volker: CityGML is OGC licence
  • Giorgio: Also 3DCityDB is Apache

VOTE: group has chosen Apache licence with a statement that after a certain version the license will be transferred to OGC.

• WG Energy Use and System: CSTB would like to discuss about a proposition of WG energy system structure (on Github)
• INSPIRE Extended Buildings model: development of modules Extended Building model of INSPIRE is still ongoing (and not a present priority). Giacomo is active in this Working Group and will bridge with our interests.

Municipal registers and urban data in the "real life" Cristiano Rinaldo (Municipality of Ferrara) Presentation: PDF file of the slides Importance of Energy data at building level from the perspective of the Municipality of Ferrara "Real life is not so easy" Collection of data from different sources, at different levels Use data with different levels of quality (spatial, temporal, thematic) Need for harmonising data Integrating, understanding, cross-checking data … and find/correct errors Happy end: what we've done and what we are doing
CityGML: standard and practical examples in Germany Volker Coors (HFT Stuttgart) Presentation: PDF file of the slides Introduction to CityGML 3D City models in Germany SimStadt Future work: Simulations as a Service for citizens

Estimated effort to extend the 3D modelling to the whole city of Trento: 2-3 persons over 1 year Creation of the 3D city model Enrichment of the 3D city model Estimation of buildings' energy performance Austria (project Ci-Nergy in Vienna): estimated effort to complete data integration for the whole city: 5 persons over 1 year 3D City model Data sources Data integration issues
