URBE - Understanding the Relationship Between Urban Form and Energy Consumption Through Behavioral Patterns (2016-2016)

The proposed research aims to fill this gap by studying the consumption profiles of urban citizens in terms ofenergy use (heat, gas and electricity) in buildings and mobility within the city area in relation to both urbanmorphology (e.g., average distance from home to workplace, inter-distance among services, inter-distanceamong streets, building type) and behavioral patterns (e.g., work and home activities schedule, preferred meansof mobility).
