Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a case study of the design of an Energy Master Plan in a small swiss community (7,200 inhabitants), located in the vicinity of large cities (Lausanne and Vevey). The paper will show in particular how a GIS system can supply useful data to assist in this. It is common knowledge that the choices which must be made in designing an Energy Master Plan are in principle of a technical nature. The existence of individual private solutions and public networks complicate the technical problems with political aspects which evolve around the perception of the world and the environment.
