Audit GIS

Through calls for proposals held in the three-year period spanning from 2006 to 2008, Fondazione Cariplo selected energy audit projects to be conducted in public administration-owned buildings across small and medium-sized municipalities, i.e. with a population under 30,000 inhabitants. Those projects also included actions to expand energy management knowledge within local governments. The results of those efforts were then disseminated, including through initiatives in schools, in order to engage the population and encourage adoption of good energy conservation practices.

The projects funded by our foundation enabled the completion of energy audits in 3,700 local government-owned buildings and engaged over 650 municipalities across Lombardy and the provinces of Novara and Verbania, i.e. one-third of small and medium-sized municipalities in that geographic area. The over 1,350 detailed audits yielded some 4,000 actions leading to improved energy efficiency.

Audit GIS is the database containing georeferenced interactive maps and all other information gathered during those energy audits. All that information is now public and broadly available. The Audit GIS database has been developed with the help of  R3 GIS Srl, a Bolzano-based firm specializing in geographical information systems.
