“…Xu and Wunsch [29] describe foundations and current state-of-the-art of the method. The combination of network design and clustering as a data analysis technique is used for different applications in context to infrastructure such as to detect and map water pollution [30], to profile road accident hotspots [31] or to identify local wind patterns for the modelling of renewable energy systems [32].

Retrofitting the existing building stock is among the most important objectives and imperative to meet societal goals to reduce primary energy demand and anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. District heating systems have proven to supply heat for buildings both energy-and cost-efficiently. Thermal microgrids can be understood as a subcategory of district heating systems: small scale, bi-directional, low temperature and potentially fed by different thermal sources. Given a suitable combination of loads, number of and distance between buildings they can offer economic and environmental advantages compared to the supply by individual heating systems per building. We present a novel method using data analysis techniques on geo-referenced building stock data to identify suitable configurations of buildings that yield a cost-efficient thermal microgrid. For the identification both semantic and spatial data from a database are combined using fuzzy logics and cost-benefit analysis. We apply the method using a case study featuring a database of 306 buildings potentially to be retrofitted. As a result, we can identify 9 groups of in total 25 buildings that would form a microgrid featuring up to 17.4% cost benefits compared to an individual heat supply. This would save approximately 30% of the building induced CO 2 emission of the community.

Notably, stakeholder interviews revealed that population growth and urbanization are considered the main pressures on water resources for the next 20 years, dominant even over agricultural irrigation.…”

“…DRI data were obtained on the pollutant loads entering the lake from drains during a one-year period from mid-June 2010 to mid-July 2011. The quality parameters comprise organic contamination, chemical composition, salinity and other physical properties (Shaban et al, 2010). The physical and chemical characteristics of the waters near the sea inlet, that are required to establish the open boundary of the model, are taken from periodical reports published by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA, 2011).…”
