UrbanExplorer™ Mapping Products
Urban Explorer offers three mapping products including the UrbanExplorer™ platform, EconoVue™ and EnergyVue™.
The UrbanExplorer™ platform is a fully customizable web GIS framework for time series datasets. EconoVue™ and EnergyVue™ are fully developed templates powered by the UrbanExplorer™ platform. As the names imply, EconoVue™ offers "Vues" into economic data sets and EnergyVue™ features renewable energy data. Both of these templates, in turn, can be customized for your specific needs.

EconoVue™
EconoVue™ (www.econovue.com) assists businesses, job seekers and policy makers make informed decisions just through a mouse click. It is available as a pay-as-you-go web app or as a customizable subscription service.
BusinessVue, JobVue and CensusVue
EconoVue™ offers three "Vues" into any locality. Each Vue generates on-the-fly thematic maps and features downloadable demographic or economic reports for any selected area or radius around a point.
BusinessVue features Dun & Bradstreet and National Establishment Time Series (NETS) databases, enhanced with Urban Explorer's "DatabaseGeos" fields. JobVue is powered by the JobCentral National Labor Exchange, a national web-based job search engine provided by leading US employers and the National Association of Workforce Agencies (NASWA). CensusVue features the 2000 Census and TigerMap files, and contains SF1 data for all census geographies.
EconoVue™ is offered in partnership with work2future and covers all of California. It can be customized by adding local data layers (like redevelopment boundaries, business districts), parcel sets, more sophisticated searches and addtional Vues.
EnergyVue™
EnergyVue™ is an interactive web mapping framework for monitoring energy use and the impact that green buildings, solar and renewable energies have throughout neighborhoods, cities and regions.
Silicon Valley Energy Map
The Silicon Valley Energy Map, a customization of EnergyVue™, is a publicly available online tool for residents, businesses, governments, and community leaders in Silicon Valley. It was produced by the Silicon Valley Energy Watch, a partnership between the City of San José and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).
It brings together, in a single, easy-to-use format, comprehensive information on building energy and detailed information and resources for next steps to implement clean energy. Users can view the overall and per capita energy use in a given city or zip code, map solar installations and green building projects in neighborhoods and cities and find the right resources, including tips, rebates, and financial incentives, to get started with clean energy.
Silicon Valley is implementing ambitious energy goals, and the map will help track progress, target efforts, and focus on next steps.
