Planning of Urban Energy System

This special issue belongs to the section “Civil Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of rapid urbanization and climate change, cities have to confront drastic energy demand and environmental issues. An urban energy system is a powerful tool that combines advanced computational and simulation techniques and rich urban information (such as infrastructure, urban morphology, etc.) to establish a viable and reliable urban energy analysis. The urban energy system is a comprehensive platform that is associated with the urban energy assessment, urban energy planning, and design, energy supply technology, urban energy-saving technology, etc. As the development and investigation of the urban energy system are such complex, multi-scale, multi-sectoral, and interdisciplinary challenges, this Special Issue would invite all research related to theories and technologies and including, but not limited to, the design, plan, and assessment of urban energy systems.
