Tools for modelling energy demand, supply side, simulation of scenarios and estimation of impacts. D1.3
report
The present deliverable includes an extensive description of the analytical methods employed within the WP1 “NEW LONG-TERM URBAN PLANNING TOWARDS 2050” of the MAKING-CITY Project. More
specifically it focuses on the activities carried out in Task 1.3 “Advanced Long-Term Energy Planning strategies and tools” which aims at the development of an innovative procedure for LT planning. According to the targets of MAKING-CITY, the need of envisioning the future of the cities is crucial when creating long-term narratives to fight (or mitigate) climate change. As the project is committed to implement “actions” in different activity sectors (residential, tertiary, transport, etc.), all of them focused on reducing energy consumption, some analyses are required. The actions are understood as systemic implementations behind the Positive Energy District (PED) concept. Attending to the different types of entities in a city, buildings are amongst the most consuming agents of energy, mostly electricity and natural gas. As people lives in buildings, both private uses and workplaces mostly, it seems appropriate to evaluate the performance of those physical units in terms of energy consumption (or even production). To do so, a first modelling strategy has been deployed thanks to the development of Enerkad, a software platform based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) where extra information related with the energy profiles of the buildings is added. Consequently, the first analysis corresponds to the Building Stock Modelling (BSM) of the city to deeply understand the way citizens consume energy in different end-use services (heating, cooling, cooking, water eating, lighting, etc.). This evaluation is performed based on GIS data of the cities plus statistics and data from energy certificates.
