Raw data used in MSc Thesis. Available for reproducing methodology

This dataset contains raw GIS data sourced from the BAG (Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen; Registry of Addresses and Buildings). It provides comprehensive information on buildings, including advanced height data and administrative details. It also contains geographic divisions within The Hague. Additionally, the dataset incorporates energy label data, offering insights into the energy efficiency and performance of these buildings. This combined dataset serves as the backbone of a Master's thesis in Industrial Ecology, analysing residential and office cooling and its environmental impacts in The Hague, Netherlands. The codebase of this analysis can be found in this Github repository: https://github.com/simonvanlierde/msc-thesis-ie

The dataset includes a background research spreadsheet containing supporting calculations. It also presents geopackages with results from the cooling demand model (CDM) for various scenarios: Status quo (SQ), 2030, and 2050 scenarios (Low, Medium, and High)

Input data

Geographic divisions

• The outline of The Hague municipality through the Municipal boundaries (Gemeenten) layer, sourced from the Administrative boundaries (Bestuurlijke Gemeenten) dataset on the PDOK WFS service.
• District (Wijken) and Neighbourhood (Buurten) layers were downloaded from the PDOK WFS service (from the CBS Wijken en Buurten 2022 data package) and clipped to the outline of The Hague.
• The 4-digit postcodes layer was downloaded from PDOK WFS service (CBS Postcode4 statistieken 2020) and clipped to The Hague's outline. The postcodes within The Hague were subsequently stored in a csv file.
• The census block layer was downloaded from the PDOK WFS service (from the CBS Vierkantstatistieken 100m 2021 data package) and also clipped to the outline of The Hague.
• These layers have been combined in the GeographicDivisions_TheHague GeoPackage.

BAG data

• BAG data was acquired through the download of a BAG GeoPackage from the BAG ATOM download page.
• In the resulting GeoPackage, the Residences (Verblijfsobject) and Building (Pand) layers were clipped to match The Hague's outline.
• The resulting residence data can be found in the BAG_buildings_TheHague GeoPackage.

3D BAG

• Due to limitations imposed by the PDOK WFS service, which restricts the number of downloadable buildings to 10,000, it was necessary to acquire 145 individual GeoPackages for tiles covering The Hague from the 3D BAG website.
• These GeoPackages were merged using the ogr2ogr append function from the GDAL library in bash.
• Roof elevation data was extracted from the LoD 1.2 2D layer from the resulting GeoPackage.
• Ground elevation data was obtained from the Pand layer.
• Both of these layers were clipped to match The Hague's outline.
• Roof and ground elevation data from the LoD 1.2 2D and Pand layers were joined to the Pand layer in the BAG dataset using the BAG ID of each building.
• The resulting data can be found in the BAG_buildings_TheHague GeoPackage.

Energy labels

• Energy labels were downloaded from the Energy label registry (EP-online) and stored in energy_labels_TheNetherlands.csv.

UHI effect data

• A bitmap with the UHI effect intensity in The Hague was retrieved from the from the Dutch Natural Capital Atlas (Atlas Natuurlijk Kapitaal) and stored in UHI_effect_TheHague.tiff.

Output data

• The residence-level data joined to the building layer is contained in the BAG_buildings_with_residence_data_full GeoPackage.
• The results for each building, according to different scenarios, are compiled in the buildings_with_CDM_results_[scenario]_full GeoPackages. The scenarios are abbreviated as follows:
  • SQ: Status Quo, covering the 2018-2022 reference period.
  • 2030: An average scenario projected for the year 2030.
  • 2050_L: A low-impact, best-case scenario for 2050.
  • 2050_M: A medium-impact, moderate scenario for 2050.
  • 2050_H: A high-impact, worst-case scenario for 2050.

On January 25, 2018 FEMA replaced this map with a new NFHL map with additional functionality which allows users to print official flood maps. On April 1, 2018 this map and NFHL link will no longer function. Please update your bookmark to https://hazards-fema.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8b0adb51996444d4879338b5529aa9cd. For more information on NFHL data availability, please visit the NFHL GIS Services page at https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/wps/portal/NFHLWMSAs of August 1, 2017 all FEMA systems will require the use of the “https” protocol, and “http” links will no longer function. This may impact NFHL web services. The FEMA GeoPlatform (including this map) will not be affected by this change. For more information on how NFHL GIS services will be impacted, please visit the NFHL GIS Services page at https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/wps/portal/NFHLWMS.An NFHL FIRMette print service is now available HERE. (For a video tutorial, click here.)OverviewThe National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) dataset represents the current effective flood data for the country, where maps have been modernized. It is a compilation of effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases and Letters of Map Change (LOMCs). The NFHL is updated as studies go effective. For more information, visit FEMA's Map Service Center (MSC). Base Map ConsiderationsThe default base map is from a USGS service and conforms to FEMA's specification for horizontal accuracy. This base map from The National Map (TNM) consists of National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and high resolution orthoimagery (HRO) that combine the visual attributes of an aerial photograph with the spatial accuracy and reliability of a map. This map should be considered the best online resource to use for official National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) purposes when determining locations in relation to regulatory flood hazard information. If a different base map is used with the NFHL, the accuracy specification may not be met and the resulting map should be used for general reference only, and not official NFIP purposes. Users can download a simplified base map from the USGS service via: https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/services/ For the specifics of FEMA’s policy on the use of digital flood hazard data for NFIP purposes see: http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=3235Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) pointsLOMA point locations are approximate. The location of the LOMA is referenced in the legal description of the letter itself. Click the LOMA point for a link to the letter (use the arrows at the top of the popup window to bring up the LOMA info, if needed).This LOMA database may include LOMAs that are no longer effective. To be certain a particular LOMA is currently valid, please check relevant documentation at https://msc.fema.gov/ . Relevant documents can be found for a particular community by choosing to "Search All Products", and finding the community by State and County. Documents include LOMAs found in the "Effective Products" and "LOMC" folders, as well as Revalidations (those LOMAs which are still considered to be effective after a map is revised).Updates3/27/2017 - Updated all references to https to prevent issues with mixed content.5/11/2016 - Added link to NFHL FIRMette Print Service. Updated LOMA and CBRS popup notes.2/20/2014 - Created a General Reference map for use when the USGS base map service is down. Renamed this map to "Official".Further InformationSpecific questions about FEMA flood maps can be directed to FEMAMapSpecialist@riskmapcds.comFor more flood map data, tool, and viewing options, visit the FEMA NFHL page.

The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) data incorporates all Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and any Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs) that have been issued against those databases since their publication date. It is updated on a monthly basis. The FIRM Database is the digital, geospatial version of the flood hazard information shown on the published paper FIRMs. The FIRM Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The FIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published FIRMs, flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by FEMA. The NFHL is available as State or US Territory data sets. Each State or Territory data set consists of all FIRM Databases and corresponding LOMRs available on the publication date of the data set. The specification for the horizontal control of FIRM Databases is consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.
