Moving towards low-carbon cities
26 Mar | Multi-Scale Energy Systems for Low-Carbon Cities (MUSES) will present findings on the interactions between urban and energy systems design and going low-carbon at this webinar.
Planning for human comfort, access to low-carbon technology, exploitation of systemic synergies, and control of uncertainty requires a Multi-Scale and holistic approach to energy systems design and integration. In awareness of this, Multi-Scale Energy Systems for Low Carbon Cities (MuSES) explores the interactions between urban and energy systems design from the building to the district scale.
This is especially relevant in the Southeast Asian context, where urbanisation is rapid and highly dense, and mixed-use urban typologies are common. A Singapore-based case study was used to explore these three aspects, utilising novel spatial toolsets for energy modelling and analysis such as the City Energy Analyst Toolbox (CEA Toolbox).
This research uncovers critical interdependencies, synergies and thresholds that influence the design of dense Asian cities and energy infrastructure as part of a joint and highly integrated process.
The Multi-Scale Energy Systems for Low-Carbon Cities (MUSES) project is coming to an end after four years. Join the team as they showcase their findings on 26th March from 3.30pm to 7.30pm in a webinar via ZOOM.
