With a growing awareness around the importance of the optimization of building efficiency, being ...able to make accurate predictions of building energy demand is an invalu¬able asset for practitioners and designers.

Building energy-use models and tools can simulate and represent the distribution of energy consum...ption of buildings located in an urban area. The aim of these models is to simulate the energy performance of buildings at multiple temporal and spatial scales, taking into account both the building shape and the surrounding urban context.
