Remote Sensing and GIS-Driven Approaches for Large-Scale Urban Building Energy Modeling

As cities grow and climate concerns escalate, understanding and managing urban energy consumption becomes increasingly vital. Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM), a technique used to simulate and analyze energy use in buildings across entire cities, has emerged as a crucial tool in urban sustainability planning. With advances in geospatial technologies, remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are proving to be game-changers in enhancing the accuracy, scale, and applicability of UBEM.
