The past 15 years have seen a strong development of advanced new Urban Building Energy Model (UBEM) tools that have been generated with existing (e.g., EnergyPlus) or new calculation engines. Due to the high computational time and the huge level of uncertainty in UBEMs, the introduction of some model simplifications and assumptions becomes unavoidable.
