Abstract:

Urban building retrofitting is a critical approach for energy conservation and carbon reduction, and proper quantification tools could help lower the cost for large-scale urban renewal. This paper introduces City Energy Lab (CityEL), a web-based platform that supports city-scale building energy efficiency. Compared to existing Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) tools, which often focus on aggregated regional results, CityEL not only facilitates rapid UBEM but also focuses on analyzing multiple neighborhood scales, particularly for the renovation of old residential neighborhoods. CityEL uses AutoBPS as its core engine to establish benchmark and energy retrofit models and utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to enable rapid modeling, multineighborhood benchmarking, and comprehensive retrofit scenario evaluation. By streamlining energy benchmarking, retrofit scenario development, and economic viability analysis, CityEL provides a comprehensive framework for scalable, cost-effective urban renewal decisions. To illustrate its capabilities, CityEL was applied in a case study of Shanghai's Huangpu District, where the platform modelled 7934 buildings across 304 neighborhoods, 245 neighborhoods were identified as economically viable for retrofitting, reducing electricity consumption to 786.4 GWh and gas consumption to 303.2 GWh, respectively. These findings highlight CityEL's role in streamlining multi-scale decision-making and advancing methodological frameworks for sustainable urban energy management.
