CREATION OF A CITYGML-BASED 3D CITY MODEL TESTBED FOR ENERGY-RELATED APPLICATIONS

Abstract. This document introduces the process for the creation of a testbed for energy applications based on a semantic 3D city model for the municipality of Rijssen-Holten in The Netherlands. The creation of this dataset requires the consolidation from multiple data sources as well as a lot of manual work so the authors can warranty as much as possible the quality of the dataset so in can be used in several use cases.
