Popis: A Smart City Energy Assessment Framework (SCEAF) is introduced to evaluate the performance and behavior of a city towards energy optimization, taking into consideration multiple characteristics. The SCEAF aims to provide to city authorities a systematic and independent evaluation means of the actions taken towards energy efficiency in parallel with the transition to become a “Smart City”. The framework consists of indicators that are structured on three major assessment axes (1) Political Field of Action, (2) Energy & Environmental Profile, (3) Related Infrastructures-Energy & ICT. The framework can be designed generally for the whole activities spectrum of a city, but it can also be customized per sector, providing more focused information.
