Abstract [en]
Visualization of energy consumption within the built environment, both in the private and public sectors, can be a potent tool for increasing conservation behavior. For instance, dynamics visualization could add new knowledge to the end-users to have a better understanding of the energy flows, dynamic mapping of the energy usage in order to avoid misplacing effort and resources, e.g. when it comes to selection of heating systems, investing in energy efficiency measures and renewables as well as when stakeholders are planning for new area to be populated with either commercial or residential buildings. This paper introduces an open-source visualization platform allowing various energy flows mapping in both time and space of a sports facilities. It further includes advanced functionalities such as key performance indicators and integrated prediction models to assist the benchmarking and decision making processes.
