我们已经洞察了单体建筑如何利用能源,并通过细致的模型预测能源消耗,进而对最终的设计决策产生影响。高效的城市能源系统定义了城市能源的使用方式,成为解决气候变化和燃料贫乏问题的焦点。研究者们已经开始花费更多精力于开发模拟工具对城市尺度的能源消耗进行预测。首先,本文将回顾当下城市尺度的模拟取得的进展,然后介绍一个名为“能源与环境预测”(EEPs)的城市尺度的模拟模型,这是在卡迪夫大学建立的有助于早期城市发展设计的能耗模拟工具。 We have gained insight into how single buildings use energy and the detailed model predicts energy consumption, which in turn affects the final design decision. Efficient urban energy systems define the ways in which urban energy is used and become the focus of the solution to climate change and fuel depletion. Researchers have begun to spend more energy on developing simulation tools to predict energy consumption at the city scale. First, the paper reviews the progress made in the simulation of current urban scales and then presents a simulation of a city-scale model called “Energy and Environmental Prediction” (EEPs), an urban model built at Cardiff University that helps early cities Development of design energy consumption simulation tools.
