API Overview

The following OGC Web APIs are available.

• Buildings in Montreal

  
  This API provides building data for the City of Montreal. The data was prepared by Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart for OGC Testbed-18.
  Data Sources:
  – Bâtiments 3D 2016, Ville de Montréal (detailed building geometries for six arrondissements)
  – Building Footprints, National Resources Canada (extruded building footprints using the building height for all other arrondissements)
  – Unités d'évaluation foncière, Ville de Montréal (building function, year of construction, building category)
  
  Sample requests:
  – 500 buildings in Hampstead (HTML, glTF-Binary, CityJSON)
  – Buildings in a small bounding box around Percival Molson Stadium (HTML, glTF-Binary, CityJSON)
  – Buildings higher than 150 meters in Ville-Marie (HTML, glTF-Binary, CityJSON)
  – Buildings in Ville-Marie build before 1870 (HTML, glTF-Binary, CityJSON)
  – Notre-Dame (HTML, glTF-Binary, CityJSON)
  – A single building feature in the dataset, that is a church and an office building (HTML, glTF-Binary, CityJSON)
  – The dataset as 3D Tiles (HTML using Cesium JS, Tileset JSON)
  – The dataset as Mapbox Vector Tiles (HTML using MapLibre GL JS, TileJSON)
  
  Notes:
  – The API has not been optimized for query performance.
  – Most geometries have issues, for example, the polygons are often not planar.
  – The CityJSON data in the links above is in the compound coordinate reference system NAD83(CSRS)/UTM zone 18N + CGVD2013 height (EPSG:6661), not the native CRS of the dataset NAD83(CSRS)/MTM zone 8 + CGVD28 height (a compound CRS of EPSG:2950 and EPSG:5713), because CityJSON and OGC API Features both require a pre-defined compound EPSG or OGC CRS.
  
  This API is developed as part of OGC Testbed-18. The API is a work-in-progress and subject to change.

• Buildings on Nuns' Island

  
  This API provides building data for Nuns' Island in the City of Montreal. The data was prepared by Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart for OGC Testbed-18 from Bâtiments 3D 2016, Ville de Montréal.
  
  This API is developed as part of OGC Testbed-18. The API is a work-in-progress and subject to change.

• NRCan Housing Archetypes for Energy Analysis

  
  A library of archetypes representing low-rise Canadian residential buildings from the province of Québec. The archetypes are intended to support energy analysis, but may prove useful for other applications.
  
  Natural Resources Canada developed this library by consolidating data from two sources:
  – Audits of Canadian homes completed through the EnerGuide rating program (more information)
  – The Survey of Household Energy Use (SHEU), administered by Statistics Canada (more information)
  
  This API is developed as part of OGC Testbed-18. The API is a work-in-progress and subject to change. Some geometries have errors.
