The Solar and Green Roof Cadastre of the City of Luxembourg is being updated

As part of its energy policy, which is closely linked to the Environmental Action Plan and Climate Pact, the City of Luxembourg commissioned Geoplex to create a solar cadastre that has been accessible in the urban information system since 2015. In 2021, Geoplex also set up a green roof cadastre for the capital. Against the background of Luxembourg’s bilingualism, both systems are available in German and French.

The central data basis of the cadastre is a very detailed 3D city model at Level of Detail 3 (LOD3, CityGML), which is continuously maintained by the city administration and, in its 2024 state, is also being used for the currently commissioned update. A few years ago, the city decided to present the solar cadastre online in three-dimensional form. This form of presentation opens up many new possibilities, for example for calculating shading situations live in the web viewer.
