This question was raised in a presentation at the GI Forum in Salzburg at 5th July 2013. The work of research studio iSPACE within the AlpHouse project showing how to use GIS methodology, analyses and tools for the support of people working for improvements in the building sector serve as examples in the presentation showing the benefits the topic can gain from GIS usage.
