Abstract: As the world continues to grow and urbanize, the significance of cities will also increase. Urban development is lengthy and costly, justifying the need for effective urban planning. Urban planning is a complex process with many often competing objectives, including sustainability and energy efficiency. Energy consumption is itself a significant concern and a key target of urban sustainability. Being energy efficient can greatly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, lower energy costs and enhance residents’ quality of life.
