Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018

It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas
Residential Efficiency Program
Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Aliant Agricultural EE Program
Problem Stalled participation levels in
agricultural program led utility to seek ways
to augment outreach efforts
Solution DNV GL analyzed data on program
activity from the tracking database and
compared against eligible customers by rate
codes to identify gaps Shows participation
rates for zip codes with at least 10 utility-
served farms Most zips with gt50 farms had
zero participation
GIS tools used Tableau

North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association
Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

New York City Housing Authority amp Hurricane Sandy
Problem Slow recovery efforts in
public housing pushed NYSERDA to
fund resiliency research
Solution DNV GL applied GIS to
identify high risk areas from storm
surges across the 5 boroughs of NYC
applied building resiliency tool B-
READY to rate NYCHA properties as
to their level of capability to
withstand climate events with focus
on energy amp building systems
GIS tools used An online tool was
developed in an ArcGISEsri

Panama Canal ndash system analysis
Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models
ndash includes all major sources of uncertainty
GIS tools used A range of sea level rise databases and
tools used to model potential impact scenarios

Amsterdam Citywide Resiliency Planning
Problem High risk for sea level
rise low cooperation among
government agenciesrsquo silos
Solution DNV GL facilitated
planning sessions with
demonstrative overlays of various
city infrastructure and how it could
be impacted
GIS tools used An online tool
was developed in an ArcGISEsri
environment for use by the City in
anticipating future events and
their potential impact on buildings

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Q What are the benefits of geospatial analysis
It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as
the LINK across a wide
variety of disparate
data for organizing
your information

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Q What are the benefits of geospatial analysis
It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as
the LINK across a wide
variety of disparate
data for organizing
your information

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas
Residential Efficiency Program
Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

Step 6 Analysis
Plot geocoded data and shapefiles Spatial interpolation of sample data

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

to augment outreach efforts
Solution DNV GL analyzed data on program
activity from the tracking database and
compared against eligible customers by rate
codes to identify gaps Shows participation
rates for zip codes with at least 10 utility-

North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association
Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

surges across the 5 boroughs of NYC
applied building resiliency tool B-
READY to rate NYCHA properties as
to their level of capability to
withstand climate events with focus
on energy amp building systems

Panama Canal ndash system analysis
Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models
ndash includes all major sources of uncertainty
GIS tools used A range of sea level rise databases and
tools used to model potential impact scenarios

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Q What are the benefits of geospatial analysis
It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as
the LINK across a wide
variety of disparate
data for organizing
your information

Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Q What are the benefits of geospatial analysis
It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as
the LINK across a wide
variety of disparate
data for organizing
your information

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Q What are the benefits of geospatial analysis
It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as
the LINK across a wide
variety of disparate
data for organizing

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas

Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

identify high risk areas from storm
surges across the 5 boroughs of NYC
applied building resiliency tool B-
READY to rate NYCHA properties as
to their level of capability to
withstand climate events with focus
on energy amp building systems

Panama Canal ndash system analysis
Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models
ndash includes all major sources of uncertainty
GIS tools used A range of sea level rise databases and
tools used to model potential impact scenarios

Mapping vs geospatial analysis
Mapping Geospatial analysis
12
Acknowledges and explicitly
incorporates spatial relationships
between data and space
GIS data layers are collections of
related information that are linked
to specific geographic locations
DNV GL expert Geospatial
analysis explicitly and intentionally
incorporates spatial elements and
effects into the analysis so that
geographic changes are going to
impact the findings
Creates a representation and
approximation of a point polygon
etc in space
Maps of data can display one or
two dimensions of information at a
time
DNV GL expert I always
distinguished mapping as taking
analysis that really is done without
considering the spatial elements and
effects and then just using
addresses zip-codes
latitudelongitude etc to drop it
into a map (R Crowley)
In either case looking at data geospatially adds immediate insights to the information being conveyed
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Q What are the benefits of geospatial analysis
It makes LOCATION a
key factor in the
analysis
It can also serve as
the LINK across a wide
variety of disparate
data for organizing
your information

Q Why is location important to energy efficiency and sustainability
Find people who caredonrsquot care about being green
Identify where there are opportunities to save
Find areas or buildings vulnerable to climate events
Target marketing
Find out where and how people shop for major appliances
Anticipate best places to put EV charging stations

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas

Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

to augment outreach efforts
Solution DNV GL analyzed data on program
activity from the tracking database and
compared against eligible customers by rate
codes to identify gaps Shows participation
rates for zip codes with at least 10 utility-
served farms Most zips with gt50 farms had
zero participation

North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association
Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models
ndash includes all major sources of uncertainty
GIS tools used A range of sea level rise databases and
tools used to model potential impact scenarios

participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas

Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Aliant Agricultural EE Program
Problem Stalled participation levels in
agricultural program led utility to seek ways
to augment outreach efforts
Solution DNV GL analyzed data on program
activity from the tracking database and
compared against eligible customers by rate
codes to identify gaps Shows participation
rates for zip codes with at least 10 utility-
served farms Most zips with gt50 farms had
zero participation

North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association
Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

Panama Canal ndash system analysis
Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models

Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space

Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas
Residential Efficiency Program
Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map

Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Aliant Agricultural EE Program
Problem Stalled participation levels in
agricultural program led utility to seek ways
to augment outreach efforts
Solution DNV GL analyzed data on program
activity from the tracking database and
compared against eligible customers by rate
codes to identify gaps Shows participation
rates for zip codes with at least 10 utility-
served farms Most zips with gt50 farms had
zero participation
GIS tools used Tableau

North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association
Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash

public housing pushed NYSERDA to
fund resiliency research
Solution DNV GL applied GIS to
identify high risk areas from storm
surges across the 5 boroughs of NYC
applied building resiliency tool B-

Panama Canal ndash system analysis
Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models
ndash includes all major sources of uncertainty
GIS tools used A range of sea level rise databases and
tools used to model potential impact scenarios

Problem Stalled participation levels in
agricultural program led utility to seek ways
to augment outreach efforts
Solution DNV GL analyzed data on program
activity from the tracking database and
compared against eligible customers by rate
codes to identify gaps Shows participation
rates for zip codes with at least 10 utility-
served farms Most zips with gt50 farms had
zero participation
GIS tools used Tableau

Problem ldquoTell me where clean energy is
in North Carolinardquo Where is there
potential for residential energy efficiency
upgrades to buildings
Solution Developed Energy Data Book
(Atlas) Took home counts built prior to
1970 (when no codes for insulation levels
existed) from ACS data and did
interpolation to regionally map the likely
density concentrations of residential
retrofit opportunities so that community
groups and weatherization entities knew
where to focus their efforts
GIS tools used Quantum GIS IDW ndash
using ArcGIS Spatial Interpolation toolset

Panama Canal ndash system analysis
Problem The Panama Canal (PC) connects the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans and is currently the worldrsquos major
shipping crossway for ocean-going ships it is transited
daily by nearly 40 ships Panama Canal Authority was
interested in conducting a climate change adaptation risk
analysis looking at the operability of the PC for navigational
purposes
Solution DNV GL applied its ADAPT model
ndash a risk-based framework for adaptation to climate change
ndash enables cost-benefits assessment of possible adaptation
strategies
ndash makes use of state-of-the-art climate models
ndash includes all major sources of uncertainty
GIS tools used A range of sea level rise databases and
tools used to model potential impact scenarios

Problem High risk for sea level
rise low cooperation among
government agenciesrsquo silos
Solution DNV GL facilitated
planning sessions with
demonstrative overlays of various
city infrastructure and how it could
be impacted
GIS tools used An online tool
was developed in an ArcGISEsri
environment for use by the City in
anticipating future events and
their potential impact on buildings

Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences

Step 5 Application for Dominion Energy 2012-2016 as choropleth map
Problem Dominion Energy wanted to
visualize historic customer
participation and kWh savings in their
EE programs and areas of opportunity
Solution DNV GL used program
tracking data on participants to
develop densities of program activity
by county compared to show where
outreach efforts should be targeted
(more interestingly we showed
participation versus savings achieved)
Mapping tools used Tableau
reproduced in PowerBI and QGIS

Program participants
Areas of low participation but high savings per participant = High potential target areas
Residential Efficiency Program
Participation amp Savings by
County 2012-2017 cumulative

Thiessen polygons
DNV GL copy 24 October 2018
Key takeawayshellip what did we do here
Obtained cleaned and geocoded address data rarr attributed longitude and latitude to buildings
Linked and mapped addresses to points on streets
Joined two related files back together with unique identifier key rarr Property ID and Record_ID
Displayed building locations on a map
Added features or attributes anything you are looking at to the plotted buildings rarr energy use
Discussed conceptually how to aggregate or add up data to a spatial unit to map
Discussed conceptually how to use a sample of data to estimate impacts over space
62
Aggregating or adding up data to a spatial unit (ie state county census tract etc) allows
spatial patterns to present themselves We can further analyse these patterns with statistics
It is our job to communicate in an easy to understand message to our respective audiences
