Parametric City Scale Energy Modeling Perspectives on using Termite in city scaled models

Termite is a parametric tool using the Danish building performance simulation engine Be10 written for the Grasshopper3D/Rhino3D environment. The tool Be10 is originally intended for building energy frame calculations and is required by Danish law when constructing new buildings. Termite opens up for fully parametric district- and city-size simulations of yearly building energy consumption with the same precisions of energy use as the tool simulates on each and every building. The poster demonstrates some of the parametric flexibilities in using Termite e.g. planning for optimal synergetic envelope requirements, placing solar energy production facilities etc.
