SEMANTIC TOOLS FOR CARBON REDUCTION IN URBAN PLANNING Co-funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme Related projects TRACE The Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE)  is a decision-support tool designed to help cities quickly identify under-performing sectors, evaluate  improvement and cost-saving potential, and prioritize sectors and actions for energy efficiency (EE) intervention. It covers six municipal sectors: passenger  transport, municipal buildings, water and waste water, public lighting, solid waste, and power and heat (Text source: www.esmap.org/TRACE)   www.esmap.org/TRACE Reference Framework for Sustainable Cities (RFSC) A set of tools that could local authorities and diverse stakeholders that need to make aligned decisions on their city strategy, policies and plans. These tools  could also help organise the assessment of sustainability and the monitoring of their urban strategy and to find examples of policies   www.rfsustainablecities.eu CETICA The main objective of the CETICA project is the design and development of a new sustainable building model taking into account energy efficiency,  ecological sustainability and end user aspects   www.arcelormittal.com/cetica Reegle The goal of REEEP is to accelerate the overall global market for renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Reegle has collected information from  the most highly-rated sources and it has classified this data in 243 country profiles using   www.reegle.info Adapt4EE Adapt4EE will develop an enhanced semantic enterprise data model that treats, learns and manages the enterprise environment as an intelligent agent,  perceives environmental state using multi-type sensors and information modalities   BECA (Balanced European Conservation Approach) The BECA project intends to achieve a significant reduction of energy consumption in European social housing. BECA will develop, provide and pilot  advanced ICT-based Resource Use Awareness Services (RUAS) and Resource Management Services (RMS), both to tenants and maintenance and  management staff members www.beca-project.eu CASSANDRA CASSANDRA aims to build a platform for the realistic modeling of the energy market stakeholders, also involving small-scale consumers   www.cassandra-fp7.eu i-SCOPE Based on interoperable 3D Urban Information Models (UIMs), i-SCOPE delivers an open platform on top of which it develops, within different domains, a  serie of “smart city” services. Specifically, the optimization of energy consumption through a service for accurate assessment of solar energy potential at  building level   www.iscopeproject.net
