INSPIRE: Building Footprints for Luxembourg, Summer 2023

All buildings with a footprint greater than 20 m² on the national territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as of summer 2023. The footprints are derived from a photogrammetric 3D rendering of building roofs and harmonized according to the INSPIRE theme 'Buildings' data specification. The dataset is provided by the Administration du Cadastre et de la Topographie.

Use Cases

• Analyze urban density and land use based on building footprints.
• Model solar potential or energy consumption based on building roof areas.
• Plan infrastructure and services based on the spatial distribution of buildings.
• Conform to INSPIRE data standards for cross-border environmental reporting.

Strengths

• Covers all buildings in Luxembourg with a footprint greater than 20 m².
• Data is harmonized to the INSPIRE 'Buildings' specification, ensuring interoperability.
• Derived from a photogrammetric 3D rendering, suggesting a consistent geometric source.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the national territory of Luxembourg.
