Stakeholder Interactive City Energy Demand Simulator (SiCEDS)
Energy Saving Trust is working with the UCL Energy Institute and partners and to develop the ‘Stakeholder Interactive City Energy Demand Simulator’ (SiCEDS). Funded by Innovate UK, this tool will stimulate the development of effective sustainable energy systems in cities. SiCEDS will allow stakeholders to see their city like never before, giving unprecedented insight into the potential for energy interventions at the touch of a button. Through facilitated, collaborative planning sessions we will transform city stakeholders ideas into early feasibility studies and business cases.

Overview Services
Energy Saving Trust is currently working with Birmingham and Exeter City Councils to develop and demonstrate the tool towards the end of 2016. The tool will be available to cities across the UK from early 2017.
With SiCEDS, the Energy Saving Trust will lift projects off the drawing board and allow rapid evaluation of options using common indicators covering health, fuel poverty, air quality, cost and energy impacts.
Key Functions
- Deliver a comprehensive understanding of the current city energy demand and supply infrastructure before exploring the options for future developments
- Give insights into the impacts on the shape and scale of demand of different levels of support for, and take up of, new energy technologies in buildings
- Create a clear visualisation of the impacts of alternative energy efficiency support strategies on fuel poverty and CO2 emission reduction
- Reveal the economic, energy and environmental impacts of moving to a more local architecture of energy supply within city or community boundaries
- Enable cities to develop a strong ‘pipeline’ of energy infrastructure projects that are investable, have consensus agreement and stakeholders in place to deliver.
