Abstract:
Buildings in cities consume 30-70% of the total primary energy. There are opportunities to reduce city building energy use by 30 to 50% using currently available technologies. This talk presents several research projects on smart cities funded by US Department of Energy, including the exascale computing project multiscale coupled urban systems. The talk will cover recently developed data, tools, and case studies to support cities’ building energy efficiency programs. Challenges of data integration, modeling and simulation of buildings at the city scale will be discussed.
