Fundamentals of Urban Building Energy Modelling – UBEM
The strategic development of appropriate energy supply systems and the construction of energy-efficient buildings are critical initiatives in the pursuit of a more sustainable future.
In order to determine the optimal plans for reducing the energy consumption of cities, decision-makers require evaluation criteria and potential scenarios.
Consequently, numerous tools for urban building energy modeling (UBEM) have been developed over the past decade in an effort to accomplish this.
This training course is designed to provide a hands-on introduction to the various methods and approaches that UBEM employs. Comparing the most pertinent and readily available UBEM tools, this work evaluates their capabilities and limitations.
Comparing the primary UBEM tools’ attributes in order to produce a concise selection guide for novice users is the objective.
The utilization of an urban building energy model offers a highly effective approach for accurately forecasting building performance. The potential worth of a design is inherently jeopardized unless critical design choices are evaluated beforehand.
Beyond Smart Cities specializes in the application of urban building energy modeling techniques to various building typologies and climatic regions.
Thousands of dynamic simulation energy models have been developed with the objective of enhancing building performance across various design phases, with the intention of identifying potential opportunities and mitigating risks.
The Fundamentals of Urban Building Energy Modelling -UBEM training was developed by Krishnaji Pawar, an accomplished energy modeling expert specializing in the creation of sustainable design strategies for commissioning, environmental impact assessment, green building certification systems (LEED, GSAS, etc.), energy modeling, and environmental management systems.
The Fundamentals of Urban Building Energy Modeling course introduces urban building energy modeling, encourages discussion and insight into current and future UBEM research, and most importantly, inspires young researchers to ask new and important questions.
Learning Objectives
- What is urban building energy modeling (UBEM)?
- Why is urban building energy modeling needed?
- What are the available UBEM tools?
- Urban modeling approaches
