Development of the CityGML Application Domain Extension Energy for Urban Energy Simulation

No widely applicable open information model standard exists until now for large-scale Urban Energy Modelling. Although different data models have been developed for different urban energy tools, they do not offer possibilities of interoperability and exchange between the stakeholders, tools and expert fields. To address this issue, an international group of urban energy simulation developers and users is developing since May 2014 an Application Domain Extension (ADE) Energy for the open urban information model CityGML. This paper introduces the Energy ADE developed and tested by this international urban energy group. Goals, requirements and the modular structure of the CityGML extension are described in detail.     «
