| Service Owner and Provider(s) | German Aerospace Establishment (DLR), Contact: Mattia Marconcini, Annekatrin Metz-Marconcini; EOX (provider of hosting platform & support in front end), Contact: Daniel Santillan |
| Abstract Description | Existing green roofs, green roofs impact score for selected cities, Percentage GR-Potential Area in relation to Total Roof Area, Potential CO2 reduction from green roof slop < 20°, 45°, 50°, Roofs suitable for Greening; Solar roofs: Existing photovoltaic panels, Total electric power production potential - High, Low, Regular Performance |
| Stakeholder(s) | Urban planning authorities, general public Real estate sector |
| Point of Contact (POC) | TBD |
| Expectations | Support to urban green spaces initiatives with accurate assessments of rooftop characteristics |
| Input Data | DOP RGBI 2018 – 2022 (provided by BML) and ALS DOM 1m (provided by BML), OpenStreetMap building outlines, Landsat Imagery of 2021 |
| Pre-processing | Various data collection, homogenisation and format conversion steps |
| Run-time | DLR algorithm (license paid by TBD) deployed as container on GTIF/EOxHub and elastic cloud |
| Output Information Product | Existing green roofs, green roofs impact score for selected cities, Percentage GR-Potential Area in relation to Total Roof Area, Potential CO2 reduction from green roof slop < 20°, 45°, 50°, Roofs suitable for Greening Solar roofs: Existing photovoltaic panels, Total electric power production potential - High, Low, Regular Performance |
| GTIF legacy | Sustainable Cities / Green Roofs Capabilities |
| Service outlet, API and/or GUI functions | Open Government portal; digital, searchable map of Austria /WebGIS); aggregation possibilities to communes, city districts, downloadable time-series Value added algorithm made available as on demand service and onboarded into the ESA NOR |
| Long-term perspective (governance, sustained operations, funding) | TBD (by DLR) |
| Deviations/ Reservations | Capability will be enhanced conditional to the availability of additional (Georeturn DE) funding of algorithm owner DLR (no Georeturn Austrian GTIF-AT C funds can be allocated to DLR).** |
| Potential Problems and Identified Solutions | No problems identified yet |
