Towards Urban Energy Micro-simulation – the Primordial Role of the Urbanite
- 👤 Speaker: Professor Darren Robinson, Chair in Building and Urban Physics, University of Nottingham
- 📅 Date & Time: Wednesday 23 May 2012, 13:15 - 14:15
- 📍 Venue: Ground-floor Classroom, Department of Architecture
Abstract
This lecture will discuss alternative approaches to urban energy modelling, suggesting that the most powerful and flexible approach is one of micro-simulation in which individuals (agents) may be explicitly simulated. The discussion will include: emerging procedures for generating and attributing a synthetic population of agents’ how their presence may subsequently be simulated at a range of potential destinations’ their activities within these destinations and the range of activity-dependent behaviours; likewise their investments in energy-related technologies and behavioural changes. The lecture will also outline some remaining challenges to the achievement of a fully comprehensive urban energy micro-simulation platform.
