Land

GeoDynamiX is VITO’s toolbox for the analysis, simulation and optimization of a wide variety of spatial issues in regions and/or cities with a view to support planning, policy making and sustainable development.

Dorp

GeoFleX is a platform developed for building software applications that require the inventorying, monitoring and/or modelling of a large number of physical elements that occur in space as points, lines or surfaces.

Windmolenpark

The Dynamic Energy Atlas software developed by VITO, based on underlying spatial models that map and model energy demand and potential.

Smog

EISSA enables to inventory, map, monitor and report emissions to the air as well as to assess measures aimed at improving the air quality.

Waterkraan

WEISS enables mapping of the emissions of relevant substances at the level of the various determining emission sources as well as their pathways to the surface water in a very spatially explicit and detailed manner.

A large company where rainwater disappears into the sewer via the downspout in quantities of hundreds of liters at a time. A laundry in the same neighbourhood tries to use water as sustainably as possible but still has to rely on tap water during droughts. How great would it be if the laundry could use the lost rainwater from the large company to jointly benefit from water. With the WaterAtlas, which VITO is presenting today as part of the Flanders WaterProof project, the laundry can instantly see which companies in its neighborhood can contribute to a sustainable solution for its water needs. This way, we once again achieve a part of Minister Zuhal Demir's Blue Deal ambition to further close the water cycles.

Businesses are making more and more of an effort to make themselves sustainable, and ideally they will also take account of their offices and the areas around them in doing so. VITO has set up a new service offering to support them in this. By using a diverse range of data sources, the potential of a business location can be identified in broad and accurate terms, tailored to the company itself.
