Buildings and Urban Energy

We analyze strategies to transform buildings and urban, sub-urban and rural neighborhoods into energy efficient and decarbonized systems.  The approach is structured into the following steps

• Building and urban energy demand modelling
• Renewable potential assessment
• Energy system modelling and optimization

Specific projects

• Design of distributed urban energy systems under uncertainty
• Geo-spatial aspects of urban energy systems
• Integration of sustainable multi-energy HUB systems (IMES): power to gas for district energy systems
• Renewable energy powered district heating networks (RePoDH)
• Rural energy demand modelling in developing countries
• Future energy efficient buildings and districts (SCCER Feeb&D)
