TY - JOUR U1 - Zeitschriftenartikel, wissenschaftlich - begutachtet (reviewed) A1 - Eicker, Ursula A1 - Weiler, Verena A1 - Schumacher, Jürgen A1 - Braun, Reiner T1 - On the design of an urban data and modeling platform and its application to urban district analyses JF - Energy and buildings : an international journal of research applied to energy efficiency in the built environment N2 - An integrated urban platform is the essential software infrastructure for smart, sustainable and resilitent city planning, operation and maintenance. Today such platforms are mostly designed to handle and analyze large and heterogeneous urban data sets from very different domains. Modeling and optimization functionalities are usually not part of the software concepts. However, such functionalities are considered crucial by the authors to develop transformation scenarios and to optimized smart city operation. An urban platform needs to handle multiple scales in the time and spatial domain, ranging from long term population and land use change to hourly or sub-hourly matching of renewable energy supply and urban energy demand.
