Citysim Guide

The proposed work is a dynamic guide, particularly designed for students, researchers and planners, to the tool CitySim. CitySim is an urban energy modelling tool, which belongs to the energy simulation software family. Its peculiar feature is to consider the simulation scene as a complex urban environment, where the energy fluxes interact with each other. Currently, several works (peer reviewed journals and conferences articles) were already performed in order to present the main features of the tool, as well as the physical model behind it, but a complete guide, able to fully describe the tool, is currently missed. Due to the rising interest on the urban energy modelling domain, and its enormous potential as political instrument to manage the energy fluxes within the urban environment, the proposed work represents an essential instrument of support for researchers, students and planners. The proposed book, named
