The MEU GIS-enabled web-platform has been developed in close collaboration with four Swiss cities: it enables detailed monitoring and planning for both energy demand and supply at individual building and neighborhood level (http://meu.epfl.ch). This web-platform gives access to entire cities comprising several thousands of buildings. In its actual configuration, this tool does not allow to pre-design networks depending on the energy demand of existing or futures infrastructures. Indeed, in MEU, gas networks

The MEU GIS-enabled web-platform has been developed in close collaboration with four Swiss cities: it enables detailed monitoring and planning for both energy demand and supply at individual building and neighborhood level (http://meu.epfl.ch). Whereas the first version of the MEU platform allowed launching calculations for only up to several hundreds of buildings at a time, the refactored version presently gives access to entire cities comprising several thousands of buildings with the same level of detail

This paper presents MEU (http://meu.epfl.ch) project results: a new GIS-centric web application for energy management and planning of existing or new urban zones. The project has been carried out with the collaboration of four Western Switzerland cities and three energy utilities companies using a “bottom-up” approach. The methodology involves the set-up of a dedicated geodatabase model aimed at structuring all energy-related knowledge of a city. Computation solvers could then be used to design and evaluate

This study concentrates on determining how to implement the legal framework at different institutional levels in an integrated approach for the planning and management of energy systems in urban areas. There are mainly five levels of decision able to influence the performances of urban zone in a Swiss city, namely the international, national, cantonal, municipal and individual levels. The objective of this study is to develop an evaluation grid, which will be used to identify the influence of each decision

Energy transition emphasizes the role of local authorities towards a sustainable future: energy productions are increasingly more decentralized by valuing renewable energies often rooted in territories. Management and operation of local energy systems are ...

In order to facilitate urban energy management and energy planning, the project MEU developed a web based tool as a decision support system for decision makers. Using a web based approach minimizes the effort on the client site as no software needs to be i ...

Le concept de « villes intelligentes » est aujourd’hui largement répandu et utilisé, de même que celui de « réseaux intelligents ». Or, dans les villes européennes et suisses, nous sommes pour l’instant dans une situation très éloignée par rapport à ces ob ...
