ENERPAC: an interactive program for estimating building energy loads
Energy shortages in urban areas and rapidly rising energy costs will soon make building energy consumption an important element in architectural design. Previously, this factor had been given consideration only in the latter stages of design, and then by the consulting engineer. Now, the architect …

The urban design of distributed energy resources
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are a considerable research focus for cities to reach emissions reduction goals and meet growing energy demand. DERs, consisting of local power plants and distribution infrastructure, range from urban to neighborhood scale. In optimizing neighborhood scale DERs, …
