A new section on multi-scale building energy modeling (BEM) was developed for Chapter 19 of the 2021 Fundamentals Handbook. This seminar provides an overview of BEM's use across five scales: sub-building, building, district, urban, and regional and national. Each scale of BEM aims to provide insights into: (1) What are the problems and use cases this scale tries to address? (2) What are modeling approaches and available tools for this scale? (3) What data sources, models and standards are available to support this scale of modeling? and (4) What are modeling and simulation challenges at this scale?
