DescriptionThis presentation will cover current research to evaluate how to reduce energy use in cities and report on progress of exascale computing funded by the US Department of Energy. Several national laboratories are conducting this work. Cities in the US consume 70% of total energy use and drive economic activities. Research to model energy in cities includes the use of common data standards to describe the physical systems in cities as well as building energy models and how buildings influence the local climate. The presentation will review the status of energy models for city energy use and how cities are using these models. The talk will describe how these models are being integrated to include transportation, buildings, human activity, and weather. Progress on task grouping to reduce computing resources will also be reported.
