Sustainability - MKI

💡 Feature Requests

Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address

Dear Viktor team,

I am requesting not so much a feature, but I think more a dataset or module regarding sustainability. Sustainability is an important topic, and as engineers, I feel like we’d like to quantify the impact on the environment. Currently, the way to go is using MKI values in the Netherlands. For a project, I worked with input data from https://viewer.milieudatabase.nl/ .

I’d very much like the database to be accessible when building the VIKTOR tools. Whenever a volume is calculated, it provides an opportunity to also determine the MKI. In the VIKTOR demo parametric building structure I saw some output regarding the MKI. I don’t know if there is already any connection with the milieudatabase, or does it use some key figures?

Submitter proposed design (optional)

Would it be possible to access the milieudatabase using a Viktor module? Like something like the viktor.geo module?

Current workarounds

Look up the values in the milieudatabase and enter them manually.

Hi Yida, thanks for your contribution!
do you know if the milieudatabase has an API to get the data? If that’s the case, implementation inside a viktor app should be doable.

For the sake of being complete: just had a quick look at the code for this sample app (It’s open source and can be found here) and there is no connection to MKI, just some default values stored in a separate constants file (this one)

Matthijs and Roeland, thanks for your reply!

I don’t know if there is an API available for the milieudatabase. I have asked the question to ‘Stichting Nationale Milieudatabase’ via mail and I’ll keep you updated.

Great I have an answer:

Yes, there is an API to pull data from NMD. Find below url of the API.

I get the following response, which seems to indicate that this needs an Access_Token. Do you get another result or know how to get such a token?

BTW: from inspecting the network tab on https://viewer.milieudatabase.nl/ i see it calls api.milieudatabase.nl instead, which seems to contain be a graphql endpoint.

Hi Matthijs, I get the same result.
I’ll send you a dm.
