Searching for high-resolution data to study buildings? 🏠
@flxwagner & I have compiled everything we could find in Europe for you!
Just published in @ScientificData: rdcu.be/c71ZD
Explore and download the EUBUCCO v0.1 dataset on eubucco.com
What is EUBUCCO?
For more than 90% of all buildings in the European Union:
+ the footprint can be geolocalized
+ a few important characteristics such as the use type, construction year and height are provided
+ a city, region and country is associated to the building
What can one do with EUBUCCO?
It enables you to run local, comparative and aggregated analyses e.g.:
+ compare the 3D morphology of Paris, Berlin and Helsinki
+ assess the exposure to flooding in Italy
+ model regional building energy demand of all Northern countries in the EU
What makes EUBUCCO different?
EUBUCCO v0.1 integrates 50 different datasets that provide the best available data in their regions.
Thus we can achieve a better coverage in terms of footprints and attributes compared to OpenStreetMap or Microsoft GlobalMLBuildingFootprints
How did we create EUBUCCO?
EUBUCCO v0.1 required to identify, download, process and perform various harmonization steps.
The details are in the paper and all the code is on Github:

Big thank you to the great team of co-authors @efesce @fbiljecki @nikoheeren @LynnHKaack @Marius_ZW @pppichler Florian Nachtigall, Geza Brüser and Jiawei Hu!
All the work that went into making this database will be amplified by each reuse, so please explore the data and to use it!
