ZEN KPIs

Naming conventions and definitions of ZEN Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) follow THE ZEN DEFINITION – A GUIDELINE FOR THE ZEN PILOT AREAS. Version 3.0. Their implementation in N-Min-CT is subject to methodological constraints and data availability, hence only some of them are implemented. Extending the list of available KPIs is an ongoing work.

Data

The source of geospatial data used to compute ZEN KPIs is the Cadastral system’s registry (© Geodata AS, Kartverket). Relevant variables are spatially overlayed with the polygon of achievable destinations obtained by assessing Travel Radius within Time (TRT).

N-Min-CT contains the Cadastral system's datasets as of January 15, 2025.

URB4.4 Access to a diversity of amenities

- computes if the following categories of amenities are present within reach:

  1. Local public transport (NA)
  2. Fast regional public transport
  3. Educational facilities
  4. Local service cluster
  5. Green open public space (NA)

Indicator results

- indicates how many categories are present.

Points awarded

- based on the number of categories present:

  • 2 points - 4 or more categories
  • 1 point - 3 categories
  • 0 points - [0...2] categories

Diagram

- shows, per category, the share (%) of all city`s amenities found within reach.

URB4.5 Dwelling type

- computes the share (%) of detached and semi-detached units out of all residential units found within reach.

Indicator results

- indicates the share of detached and semi-detached units.

Points awarded

- based on the share of detached and semi-detached units:

  • 1 point - 30% or less of detached and semi-detached units
  • 0 points - more than 30%

Diagram

- shows the share (%) of:

  • detached and semi-detached units
  • apartments

within reach.

Ongoing implementation of other KPIs:

  • GHG1.1...1.6 (Materials/Construction/Use/Operational energy use/Operational transport/End-of-life)
  • URB4.8 Street connectivity
  • MOB5.2 Travel time ratio
