Three Methods for Characterizing Building Archetypes in Urban Energy Simulation. A Case Study in Kuwait City

Significant research effort has gone into developing urban building energy modeling (UBEM) tools, which allow evaluating district-wide energy demand and supply strategies. In order to characterize simulation inputs for UBEM, buildings are typically grouped into representative “archetypes”. This si...
