Summary:

Urban scale building simulation refers to the extension of building energy modelling to the urban scale. This can be seen as an aggregated city model, built upon aggregated building models. Another interpretation is to build city-wide models from top information at a country level. Simulation at a district scale and city scale is still in its infancy, therefore a review of different urban simulation workflows is illustrated with a focus on bottom-up approaches and identification of the major obstacles to building model accuracy and reliability.
