Scale dependent components of the 2D+1D evolutions of urban heating and cooling demands

The use of the results unique datasets to examine the energy demands required for building heating and cooling over a real urban area and how these relate to urban microclimatic parameters such as packing density λp in multiple scales. As a result, we show how urban planning can benefit from such relevant considerations for the benefit and prospect of energetically sustainable societies and cities and investigate the link between urban form characteristics with the associated urban energy demands for heating and cooling.
