Mads SletbjergPer R. Kristensen
The paper describes the Danish Energy Agency's information system, Energydata. Besides a technical overview of the system the paper describes our experience in working, maintaining, processing, and collecting data and communicating information in relation to the field of energy. Energydata was established at the end of the 1980s; the system holds information concerning energy matters and associated environmental impact. Energydata's database contains information concerning energy about all buildings in Denmark (2.4 million) and approximately 7,000 energy planning zones. The information provided by Energydata can be utilized for a wide variety of purposes such as planning and analysis, designing energy plants, and administrative tasks. The geographical approach provides excellent possibilities for analyses that cut across traditional sectors. Information about energy and the environment can be calculated for energy plants, energy systems, consumers of energy, municipalities, and energy companies.
