7. 5. Urban building energy modeling : A systematic evaluation of modeling and simulation approaches

   Författare :Fatemeh Johari; Joakim Widén; Joakim Munkhammar; Olga Kordas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban building energy modeling; Urban energy Planning; Bottom-up energy modeling; Thermal zoning; Model complexity;

   Sammanfattning : Urban energy system planning can play a pivotal role in the transition of urban areas towards energy efficiency and carbon neutrality. With the building sector being one of the main components of the urban energy system, there is a great opportunity for improving energy efficiency in cities if the spatio-temporal patterns of energy use in the building sector are accurately identified.
