Renewable Energy

 
Climate and Energy Regions 
Energy Performance Certificate for Settlements 
Geodatabases and Geoinformatics for Renewable Energy 

In the future our entire energy system will be forced to undergo dramatic changes. With world-wide energy consuption rising rapidly, global climate change and an increasingly unstable energy supply, renewable energy sources and energy saving settlement structures will continue to grow in importance.

Climate and Energy Regions


New partnerships, business concepts and a focus on customer relations are all essential for the implementation of climate-friendly strategies in regional development.

mecca offers a range of services from the set-up of climate and energy regions, to the implementation of specific projects:
  • Comparative analysis of (inter-)national best-practices for examples of successful energy regions
  • Development of multi-governance-mechanisms for climate protection and reduced energy consumption
  • Development of participatory models for integrating citizens and companies
  • Development of structural measures and instruments concerning spatial and regional planning as well as regional funding policies
  • Preparation of regional climate and energy concepts with middle- and long-term objectives as well as the development of measures and projects
  • Training and demonstration projects
  • Detailed energy and emission analysis (in cooperation with our partners)
  • Analysis of energy flows and usage (in cooperation with our partners)


Energy Performance Certificate for Settlements


Until now the energy performance certificate (obligatory since 2009) concerned only the energy efficiency of single buildings. Up to now, Mobility as a major emission producer was not factored into the analysis. Now with the development of the Energy Performance Certificate for Settlements, streets, communities, city districts and entire regions can be anayzed for their energy use based on their buildings as well as their energy demand for mobility.


mecca offers:
  • Status analysis of energy performance of settlements, streets of houses, districts and regions
  • Evaluation of the energy demand for day-to-day mobility of the inhabitants
  • Development of energy-saving measures


Geodatabases and Geoinformatics for Renewable Energy


By means of geoinformatics, detailed positioning on maps or websites of current and potential renewable energy sites is possible.

mecca offers:
  • Research and the compilation & updating of data concerning energy into webbased databases (SQL)
  • Data processing via GIS
  • Support of public authorities in the management of geodata
  • Conception and implementation of cartographic documents (digital/analogue)
  • Implementation of weblayouts and interactive maps (in cooperation with our partners)
  • Organisation and moderation of workshops
