The need for reduction in CO2 emissions to mitigate global warming has resulted in increasing use of renewable energy sources. In urban areas, solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment on existing rooftops is one of the most viable sustainable energy resources. The present study uses a combination of support vector machines (SVMs) and geographic information systems (GIS) to estimate the rooftop solar PV potential for the urban areas at the commune level (the smallest administrative division) in Switzerland. The rooftop solar PV potential for a total 1901 out of 2477 communes in Switzerland is estimated. Following a 6-fold cross validation, the root-mean-square error (also normalized) is used to estimate the accuracy of the different SVM models. The results show that, on average, 81% of the total ground floor area of each building corresponds to the available roof area for the PV installation. Also considering the total available roof area for PV installation, that is, 328 km(2) and roof orientations within 900 of due south, the annual potential PV electricity production for the urban areas in Switzerland is estimated at 17.86 TW h (assumed 17% efficiency and 80% performance ratio). This amount corresponds to 28% of Switzerland's electricity consumption in 2015. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Summary: Using machine learning random forests algorithm and exploratory data analysis, we propose density scenarios and housing capacity estimates for potential residential lands in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc region in the UK. Our study suggests that the impact of housing growth on natural capital can be significantly reduced by using compact development patterns, protecting land with high-value natural capital, and utilizing low-biodiversity brownfield sites.
