Sub-location N-dimensional mixed category disaggregation for energy efficiency modelling

Abstract

In the energy end-use sectors (residential, commercial, industrial), there are significant problems of energy data fragmentation, quality, access and interoperability that make it very difficult to really understand the energy consumption landscape and to develop ways of improving efficiency and/or reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper presents initial efforts towards the development of an ISO/TC 211 standard based encoding for energy efficiency analysis, making interoperability between key players, so that more effective analysis can be based on wider range of temporal spatial data. In the standard of Geography Markup Language (GML), the concept coverage is used to represent a..
