Abstract
In 2018 across 885 urban areas of the EU-28 only 66% of EU cities have, according to Reckien et al. classification a A1 (autonomously produced plans), A2 (plans produced to comply with national regulations) or A3(plans developed for international climate net- works) mitigation plan, 26% an adaptation plan, and 17% a joint adaptation and mitigation plan, while about 33% lack any form of stand-alone local climate plan [1]. Local climate plans are a new emerging field of application for urban planning and, in this sector appropriate geovisualization techniques could be useful tool in supporting make decisions about actions for local energy and climate plans. Geovisualization can help decision makers or researchers to transfer information to stakeholders and people. In this work we discuss geovisualization approach for energy consumptions and renovation scenarios for private and public buildings delivered in a specific case study: Potenza Municipality. This tool allows to visualize energy consumptions at urban scale thorough a geo- database including individual buildings information with several functions: i.e. to identify urban areas where take action with higher priority. The application to case study of Potenza Municipality is a component of a wider process of developing the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP). It shows the potential of geovisualization as a tool to support decisions making and monitoring of actions to be included in the plan.
