Sustainable development of urban areas and reduction of negative impacts on the environment is possible through the rational use of energy resources. At the same time, reducing the energy intensity of the existing housing stock, given the unsatisfactory technical condition of a large number of buildings and structures of old construction, and the construction of new energy-efficient buildings is one of the priorities in our country. A qualitatively new approach to solving problems of energy saving in urban planning provides the use of geographic information systems, which make it possible, using mechanisms to support management decision-making and automation of processes associated with spatial analysis, to develop programs to reduce the energy intensity of buildings and the long-term development of the electricity and heat supply system in the municipality.
