Abstract: Increasing demand for energy and emphasis on environmental sustainability has started to revolutionize the existing energy infrastructure within the built environment. In parallel, more distributed energy systems are rapidly springing up. These changes inevitably influence the design, operation and management of buildings. Recently, the energy and environmental evaluation of buildings for long-term decision-making and planning has shifted the boundaries from single buildings towards neighborhood scale. This is because buildings as a cluster can enhance the incorporation of distributed energy systems when realizing energy neutrality in the long run.
