Abstract: The promotion of energy efficiency (EES) and renewable energy (RES) programs has a long history in developed countries; however, in the rest of the world such initiatives are incipient. Meanwhile, cities are the main recipients of this type of programs; therefore, the development of methodologies for the elaboration of prospective urban-energy studies is really important to efficiently use the available resources. Nevertheless, cities have substantial differences among themselves in terms of structure, conformation and growth, along different regions in the world. Hence, it is necessary that methodologies can respond to different realities that each case presents.
