Feasibility Analysis on Digital Integration of Urban Local Climates, Energy Consumption, and Reference Recommendations

Abstract

Abstract To present clearer and more significant boundary conditions for architecture and urban design which takes energy and environment as the key points, and offer valid references for higher energy efficiency during the city development, based on related urban physical environment theories, according to the present situation of local climates and environments of the cities in China, the paper provides classifications of the city underlay surface materials, building properties, natural elements and other environmental influence factors, and analyses various physical and ecological effects derived from the factors. It also points out that the digital integrated map system including urban local climates, energy consumption, and reference recommendations can be founded by blending and utilizing research methods, which comprises theoretical analysis, investigation, experiments, simulation, and GIS technologies.
