Abstract: In the preliminary design process of large buildings or entire city districts, detailed information relevant for energy planning often is scarce. This necessitates coarse simulation models, accordingly. Common approaches simulate city districts either with multizone or single-zone buildings. The former requires high modeling efforts and details that might be unobtainable. The latter demands multiple simulations to adequately represent mixed uses. The presented approach finds its way between these, by pre-simulating representative type cells (based on SIA-2024 [1]) and scaling the results to the buildings or city districs in question. We provide a library with clear and simple input, output and extendable database via XLSX-files.
