Urban energy use modeling is important for understanding and managing energy
performance in cities. However, the existing methods and tools have limitations in …

Abstract The development of Urban-Scale Energy Modelling (USEM) at district or city level is
today the goal of many research groups due to the increased interest in applications such as …

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 …

The energy supply of buildings in urban contexts is undergoing significant changes. The
increase of renewable sources for electrical and thermal energy generation will require …

Over the last decade, more and more cities and even countries worldwide are creating
semantic 3D city models of their physical environment based on the international CityGML …

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 …

The use of 3D city models combined with simulation functionalities allows to quantify energy
demand and renewable generation for a very large set of buildings. The scope of this paper …

Addressing the gap between available urban building data, energy performance evaluation,
and spatial distribution of end-users is a growing concern of municipalities to support energy …

Within the context of amongst others urban energy planning and energy system design,
urban and district energy simulations have gained interest to quantify the energy use of …

CityGML is the most important international standard used to model cities and landscapes in
3D with extensive semantics. Compared to BIM standards such as IFC, CityGML models are …
