Combining GIS-based statistical and engineering urban heat consumption models: Towards a new framework for multi-scale policy support

摘要

Diagnosing and modelling precisely the actual energy consumption at the urban scale is the indispensable starting point of any low-carbon urban energy policy. This paper compares two building heat consumption models for urban scale applications: a statistical model based on 2D-GIS and multiple linear regression, and an engineering model making use of 3D city models and monthly energy balance of standard EN ISO 13790.
