ENER-BI: Integrating Energy and Spatial Data for Cities’ Decarbonisation Planning [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Given the current climate emergency, our planet is suffering. Mitigation measures must be urgently deployed in urban environments, which are responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. In this sense, a deeper integration between energy and urban planning disciplines is a key factor for effective decarbonisation in urban environments. This is
