Urban building energy modeling (UBEM) is a bottom-up, physics-based approach to
simulate the thermal performance of new or existing neighborhoods and cities. The field has …

Abstract Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) is essential for urban energy-related
applications. Its generation mainly requires four data inputs, including geometric data, non …

Buildings in cities consume up to 70% of all primary energy. To achieve cities' energy and
climate goals, it is necessary to reduce energy use and associated greenhouse gas …

During the last decades, a variety of digital tools have been developed to support both the
planning and management of cities, as well as the inclusion of civic society. Here, the …

Over the past decades, detailed individual building energy models (BEM) on the one side
and regional and country-level building stock models on the other side have become …

In the last decades, 3D city models appear to have been predominantly used for
visualisation; however, today they are being increasingly employed in a number of domains …

The level of detail (LOD) concept of the OGC standard CityGML 2.0 is intended to
differentiate multi-scale representations of semantic 3D city models. The concept is in …

Cityscapes provide a complex environment, where solar radiation is unevenly distributed,
especially since urban features started to propagate more and more vertically. Due to the …

Demolition waste represents a significant portion of the total generated waste and has a
high importance from both a waste management and a resource efficiency perspective. The …

Diagnosing and modelling precisely the actual energy consumption at the urban scale is the
indispensable starting point of any low-carbon urban energy policy. This paper compares …
