As part of Future City Glasgow the Energy App delivers a key element of the smart city agenda. The Energy App will enable citizens and businesses to evaluate the performance and energy efficiency of their buildings and get recommendations of possible improvements, including retrofit solutions, renewables and other energy conservation measures.The Energy App incorporates a dynamic 3D web portal that will allow users to view and explore the city’s energy performance at both district and building levels. The app is for building and home owners to understand their energy use, examine simple energy conservation measures to help them reduce their consumption and provide them with potential retrofit solutions that will be applicable to their buildings.The Energy App facilitates local and city-scale assessments of energy use. The importance of providing a means with context to conduct such assessments cannot be overstated, in terms of the associated potential economic and environmental benefits for Glasgow.The Energy App uses the IES dynamic thermal simulation software, the Virtual Environment, or VE to power the results. Hosted on the cloud, the technology has been linked with map data, benchmark information and pre-defined datasets to deliver the apps functionality:It automatically creates a 3D building model from the underlying map data and user entered building data;It links the entered building data to pre-defined datasets (activities, operation, constructions, HVAC systems) that are needed to enable simulation;It automatically populates the 3D building model with these datasets (baseline model creation);It then automatically applies pre-defined datasets linked with selected improvements to the bespoke 3D building model (comparison model creation);Remote simulations of the baseline 3D model and the comparison models are undertaken on the cloud serverResults are harvested and delivered to the users account.
