ABSTRACT The Energy and Environmental Prediction (EEP) model is an environmental
auditing and decision making tool for cities, to be used by planners and others in pursuit of …

The main aim of the energy and environmental prediction (EEP) model is to provide an
auditing tool for quantifying energy use and emissions in cities to assist in planning for …

There is a lack of building energy modeling in current planning support systems (PSS) while
building energy efficiency is getting greater attention. This is due to the current limitations of …

In order to develop the concept of sustainability in the built environment there must be
increased use of detailed predictive tools, both at an individual building level and at urban …

The amount of energy consumption of individual buildings is a widely discussed theme.
However, there are few studies that have analyzed the consumption of energy by groups of …

Energy efficient buildings' issue integrated into the district and CO2 emission reduction
strategies and policies is one of the main concerns in the European Union (EU). In order to …

This paper presents a two-step approach to forecasting city-wide building energy demand.
The initial engineering estimates with input from typical buildings are used as the priori …

Within the framework of sustainable development, it is important to take into account
environmental aspects of urban areas related to their energy use. In this article a …

The urban climate and outdoor air quality of cities that have a positive thermal balance
depending on the thermal consumptions of buildings cause an increase of the urban heat …

Energy consumption of urban areas is a relevant theme for sustainable spatial planning.
Through the integration of energy and urban planning issues, it can be identified a suitable …
