The Lower Saxony State Office for Heritage Preservation (NLD) is leading an interdisciplinary research project with the Institute for Geodesy and Photogrammetry at the Technische Universtität Braunschweig (IGP) to develop a Lower Saxony-wide heritage roof cadastre which enables an initial assessment of the suitability of roofs. The project focuses on creating tools that analyze and evaluate roofs based on their solar potential, roof material, geometry, and visibility in public space. The results can be made publicly accessible by integration into Lower Saxony's geographic information system. This should assist local preservation authorities and those involved in planning to ensure an appropriate and sustainable development of listed buildings in the future.Attribution 4.0 International License10.2312/dh.202533544 pages
