REDAP

About the project

Codema was a partner in the REDAP (Regional Energy Demand Analysis Portal) project, which was approved under the 2018 European Research Area Network (ERA-Net) Smart Energy Systems fund and was supported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.

REDAP presented a cross-sectoral approach to regional energy systems and has helped end-users to spatially visualise and better understand the characteristics of urban energy demand. It combined GIS and machine learning technology with urban energy planning data to provide an integrated approach to energy and spatial planning. This in turn enabled planners, policy-makers and investors to make more informed decisions relating to energy demand, energy efficiency and renewable energy alternatives, whilst also generating an increased evidence base to inform further project feasibility and implementation.

REDAP was managed by an Irish-based partner, Spatial Outlook, and brought together public-sector focused ‘need owners’ including Codema, the City of Gothenburg Council and Energieagentur der Regionen in Austria. Project partners in REDAP were Spatial Outlook Ltd., Codema, ICHEC, AIT- Austrian Institute of Technology and Chalmers University of Technology.

REDAP has provided insight to end-users regarding the region’s building stock and to complement the static building-stock, the Austrian partner, AIT Mobility, has incorporated a process for analysing the dynamic energy demand of urban mobility systems across different routes and modes.
