This is the Tool for Efficient CityGML District Energy Modelling (TECDEM). It is a Python-based tool that utilizes CityGML, the EnergyADE, and the Districtgenerator (also known as Quartiersgenerator) to easily parameterize districts based on CityGML files and save the data as CityGML.
The tool can be used for quickly analyzing districts. We consider such tools relevant, as districts provide an important scale in the energy transition. They offer more flexibility than a single building and hence can be considered the smallest cell of energy transition.
TECDEM is currently under heavy development. While there are no specific features to highlight at this time, all current functionalities are showcased in the experiments provided.
To install TECDEM, follow these steps:
- Clone this repository
- Run:
pip install -r requirements.txt - Navigate to the
srcfolder and clone this branch of the Districtgenerator
For a complete list of dependencies, please refer to the requirements.txt file in the repository.
Please refer to the experiments in the repository for examples of how to use TECDEM.
[To be completed in future updates]
The tool is currently under active development. Future updates and releases are planned, as well as publication in a journal. Stay tuned for more features and improvements.
