Scalable Urban Energy Modeling for Climate Resilience in Densely Populated Coastal Metropolitan Regions

Urban energy demand is highly sensitive to climate-driven shifts in heating and cooling requirements. This study extends high-performance computing workflows to evaluate energy resilience in diverse urban building stocks.

Open to researchQualified 88/100P4 provenance
Primary research question

How can scalable energy modeling workflows be optimized to inform urban climate resilience planning in diverse metropolitan environments?

Knowledge gap

What remains worth asking

The source suggests that while the workflow is effective for Nassau County, it remains useful to test its transferability to different urban typologies and climate zones.

Potential contribution

Why it may matter

Improved modeling accuracy supports targeted grid decarbonization and energy efficiency policies in urban areas.
