How green is my street?

Using an energy consumption database provided by the City of Lausanne at Make Open Data 2011, we determine how “green” a street is by averaging the total energy usage of the buildings on it. We compare this to the national average as detailed below.

To use the application, simply start typing the name of your street (Avenue, Chemin, Rue…), then click in the menu that appears to confirm. Our app loads information about the street, showing a year-by-year information of the energy consumption as well as a map centered on the chosen street. Click on past years to see a visual representation of the building data available.

Developed as a CouchApp, with data conversion in Python. Embedded map of Lausanne from GeoAdmin. Check out consommation_energie_lausanne for a project that used the same data set to plot the data right on a map. We'd love to pull our efforts together ;)
