FerBund

What characteristics of buildings can be obtained from remote sensing data today? The FerBund research project investigates this question and uses the example of federal buildings in civilian use to explore the possibilities and limitations of determining the potential for using renewable energy and contributing to biodiversity and climate protection. For this purpose, a georeferenced selection of the federal buildings considered in the project is first created using the property list of the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) and georeferenced points of interest (POI) of the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG). For these, the proportion of green roof areas and existing solar installations will then be determined based on aerial images and geodata from the BKG using geographic information processing and machine learning/deep learning methods. In a supplementary potential analysis, open spaces that could enable the use of solar and wind energy, as well as geothermal energy, are also to be recorded.
