Development of urban- or multiscale building energy models is becoming increasingly tractable for many applications including city-wide energy supply/demand strategies, urban development planning, electrical grid stability, and urban resilience. This seminar has assembled researchers from three U.S. national laboratories with capabilities in the field of multiscale energy models to discuss an overview of the field as well as the data, algorithms, workflow, and practical challenges addressed in their applications involving creation and analysis of building energy models at the scale of a city or metropolitan area.
