Abstract
With rapid urbanization in past decades, the energy consumption of cities is climbing with accelerating speed. Buildings, as the major infrastructure in cities, consume the largest portions of annual produced energy. Therefore, understanding the energy-consuming dynamics of buildings is critical for decision-makers to propose feasible solutions to enable more sustainable and healthy development. Urban building energy simulation models as conventional tools to predict building energy flex lack efficiency and often neglected inter-building-effects of adjacent buildings. Therefore, to develop a reliable and efficient urban building simulation model, this study implemented City GML data format to rapidly construct urban building IDF files that incorporate IBEs. With a validation test, the proposed method shows a significant improvement in modeling running time and simulation accuracy.
