Geospatial Big Data analytics to model the long-term sustainable transition of residential heating worldwide.
Highlights
*A novel Geographical Information Systems (GIS)-based methodology that uses existing GIS data to spatially and temporally assess the global energy demands in the residential sector with an emphasis on space heating.
*Unsupervised Machine Learning (UML)-based approach assesses large raster datasets of 165 countries, covering 99.6% of worldwide energy users.
*The method captures the complexity and heterogeneity of the residential sector.
*A sustainable scenario for the long-term transition of space heating technology is assessed.
