Abstract

As widely acknowledged, building energy use is strongly interplayed with neighboring buildings, such as shading or incident solar radiation. In other words, it is important to investigate building energy characteristics, not by a sole building but with a group of buildings. In this regard, the authors suggest the process of the urban-scaled building simulation using the geographic information system (GIS) to build the database that reflects the shading and the solar radiation that enter the building surface and is helpful for the development of building shading indicator. The GIS is a database that combines the geometric information of buildings as well as the properties of both buildings and the city. In this study, EnergyPlus was chosen as a dynamic building simulation tool, and the comprehensive process including gathering model information, customizing building footprint data, generating models, executing simulations, and organizing the urban-scaled building surface database.
