Abstract
This report evaluates five land use patterns with respect to energy consumption. Two types of energy consumption are considered: one depends on the atmospheric temperature, that is, energy consumed by air-conditioning and hot water supply systems; and the other is that consumed by transportation systems. Energy consumption by air-conditioning and hot water supply systems is estimated using a mesoscale meteorological model called the modified Colorado State University Mesoscale Model (CSUMM). Calculation of energy consumption by transportation systems is based on two types of trip behavior models. Comparison of energy consumption shows that the mixture of land use reduces energy consumption, and that excessive concentration of urban functions is not desirable with respect to energy consumption.
