Short Description of the ADE Energy
No widely applicable open model standard exists until now for Urban Energy Modelling.
Developers of new urban energy tools have created their own tailor-made data-models, while municipalities and other urban information data administrators have their own database structure to collect and manage urban information. As such, these models exist without interoperability and exchange possibilities between the stakeholders, tools and expert fields.
Since May 2014, an international consortium of urban energy simulation developers and users (11 European organisations representing 5 urban energy platform developments) has sought to address this need by developing an Urban Energy Information standard, as an Application Domain Extension (ADE) of the CityGML urban information model.
Following the philosophy of CityGML, this ADE Energy aims to be flexible, in terms of compatibility with different data qualities, levels of details, and urban energy models complexities (from monthly energy balance of ISO 13790, to sub-hourly dynamic simulation of softwares like CitySim or EnergyPlus). It takes into consideration the INSPIRE Directive of the European Parliament, as well as the recent US Building Energy Data Exchange Specification (BEDES).
Its structure is thought of as modular; some of its modules can be potentially used and extended for other applications (e.g. module Occupancy for socio-economics, module Materials for acoustics or statics, module Metadata and Scenarios for every urban analysis).
The concrete output of this development is a class diagramm and a XML Schema freely available.
