_Welcome to Colouring Loughborough!

Colouring Loughborough is a free knowledge exchange platform designed to provide over 100 types of open data on Loughborough's buildings to help improve their quality, efficiency, sustainability and resilience and to meet net-zero goals.

Colouring Loughborough is also the Colouring Britain regional demonstration site, and is part of the international Colouring Cities Research Programme/CCRP. Teh CCRP is run by the Alan Turing Institute and provides open-source code for networked open data platforms providing open spatial data on the composition, performance and dynamic behaviour of the building stock. This is designed as a sustainable resource with new features and data added and improved on all the time.

At the moment data on buildings is very fragmented and also often heavily restricted. The Colouring Loughborough platform allows you to help the University and local authority build a free digital platform for the town that can help achieve sustainability goals,

All our data and code are free to download, use and share under our open licence terms. Our open manual also provides non-technical information on the CCRP for anyone interested in our research.!

Colouring London is a free knowledge exchange platform designed to provide over fifty types of open data on buildings in the city, to help make the city more sustainable.

Colouring London is part Colouring Cities. The Colouring Cities Research Programme (CCRP), led by the Alan Turing Institute, is an international consortium of academic institutions involved in building research. Our aim is to maximise accessibility to building-level data across countries, to help improve stock quality, efficiency, sustainability and resilience and meet net-zero goals.

New data and features are added all the time. We are keen to engage as many people as possible in platform development. Whether you are a resident, or a stakeholder in academia, government, industry or the third sector, any help you can give colouring in our Colouring Cities maps, and enriching and verifying our open databases with your knowledge, is greatly appreciated.

All our data and code are free to download, use and share under our open licence terms. Our open manual also provides non-technical information on the CCRP for anyone interested in our research._

  • [x] M_Kim: Show any open SME or land use open Datasets for Loughborough available ideally mapped using GIS.
  • [x] M_Kim & TL: Are we mapping land use using MSE data, or land use and SME information? If both need to create new SME data class. How will this be updated?
  1. I've discovered an SMEs dataset on Gov.uk and will bring it along this Wednesday for our review. This includes address information which enables us to map using GIS. * We can designate certain business types as land use categories.

PH: We could easily create an additional box which says tick if SME but should also have the date next to it and have options to add new

  1. Regarding land use, are we able to use the data from DEC and EPC? If so, we should discuss how to effectively translate the land use codes to align with the current Colouring London's land use legend. image

Or can we create a new DEC / EPC (land use) legend? This opinion is from the meeting with Falli.

PH: Yes definitely can extract land use and age data and excellent to do, Grant and Joe at Birmingham have already worked in age I know

*There's not enough land use data in OSM and I will review it more.

PH: OSM data can be supplemented and corrected using the crowdsourcing feature - we need to make sure the date is added as this is the fastest changing of all our datasets. This will also enable land use history and land use change to be tracked from now which is very useful.

Once we have age and land use data we can use these to infer other characterisatics such as materials and look at probability of accuracy. We can talk to experts in our international group in terms of possibly testing AI and ML approaches on the data as they may well be interested.

  • [x] M_Kim and TL, Does the current Colouring Loughborough 'mixed use' feature under 'Land Use' also require an option for floor level for each different land use to be put in?

I've noticed that in the DEC and EPC data, land use is categorised as 'mixed-use' for entire buildings, without specifying the land use for each individual floor. I'll look into whether there's more detailed information available on this matter.

PH: Thanks - I think providing evidence that retail nearly always will fall on ground floor for example is iactually mportant especially in inference work - ie what are the rules that we can use - this will help with rapid generation of data for Charnwood as a whole to give the regional context for Charnwood and also promote work on the regional prototype. I am going to write this up in the manual too

Hi @MKIM1008 @fallipalaiologou @matkoniecz have added answers under M_Kim's above. Can you add Taimaz' Github username so she's looped in thanks

polly64 commented 9 months ago

@MKIM1008 could you move any of these to relevant other Data issues or close them - I have written notes above - all energy stuff that is new to other energy items should go under Data: Energy main issues

MKIM1008 commented 9 months ago

@polly64 I've completed mentioning the comments on other Energy issues and closed this issue.
