City governments and energy utilities are increasingly focusing on the development of
energy efficiency strategies for buildings as a key component in emission reduction plans …

Achieving citywide building energy reduction goals require extensive understanding of
energy use at scale, which is challenging due to scarce and disparate data. Despite …

Urban building energy modeling (UBEM) is becoming a proven tool to support energy
efficiency programs for buildings in cities. Development of a city-scale dataset of the existing …

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 Buildings in cities consume 30–70% of total primary energy, and improving building
energy efficiency is one of the key strategies towards sustainable urbanization. Urban …

Abstract Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) is an emerging method for exploring
energy efficiency solutions at urban or district scales. More versatile than statistical models …

Policymakers are struggling to understand what specific mixes of building retrofitting
upgrades are necessary to achieve carbon emission targets. Urban building energy …

Buildings in cities consume 30 to 70% of the cities' total primary energy. Retrofitting the
existing building stock to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy use is a key strategy …

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 …

Buildings in cities consume up to 70% of all primary energy. To achieve cities' energy and
