SUMMARY:Towards Urban Energy Micro-simulation – the Primordial Role of t
 he Urbanite - Professor Darren Robinson\, Chair in Building and Urban Phys
 ics\, University of Nottingham

CONTACT:Xiao Rong
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will discuss alternative approaches to urban ener
 gy modelling\, suggesting that the most powerful and flexible approach is 
 one of micro-simulation in which individuals (agents) may be explicitly si
 mulated. The discussion will include: emerging procedures for generating a
 nd attributing a synthetic population of agents’ how their presence may 
 subsequently be simulated at a range of potential destinations’ their ac
 tivities within these destinations and the range of activity-dependent beh
 aviours\; likewise their investments in energy-related technologies and be
 havioural changes. The lecture will also outline some remaining challenges
  to the achievement of a fully comprehensive urban energy micro-simulation
  platform.
