Went to a very interesting meeting organized by Government Foresight this morning looking at joining up data and tools available on energy, including local energy. On the day that the Government's new Carbon Plan is launched (http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/tackling/carbon_plan/carbon_plan.aspx) it seems apposite to be noting some interesting new resources out there or soon to be out there:
1) CSE will be launching their zoomable national heat map early in 2012 which uses Google maps as a very accessible base: http://www.cse.org.uk/news/view/1458
2) CSE also have a fabulous resource for community planning available at http://www.planlocal.org.uk/
3) DECC have their Community Energy Online resource at http://ceo.decc.gov.uk/
4) DECC are also relaunching their 2050 Pathways, which now include cost data and visualisations at home, city and country level that react to the parameters chosen when playing around with the pathways calculator: http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/tackling/2050/2050.aspx
5) EST is hosting the Housing Energy Efficiency Database at http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Professional-resources/Existing-Housing/Homes-Energy-Efficiency-Database; working is ongoing on one that incorporates non-domestic data
6) Finally, CSE has DEC data available to download at www.cse.org.uk/data
Happy browsing!
