Bottom-up model for the simulation of heat demand profiles of urban areas
A. Molar-Cruz @ TUM ENS

Features
--------
## Features

- UrbanHeatPro is a python-based bottom-up model for the simulation of heat demand profiles of urban areas.
- It considers both the space heating demand and hot water demand. So far, the hot water demand is calculated only for residential buildings.
- Characteristic values for the building stock, building thermal properties, building set-temperature and annual hot water consumption are based on statistics for Germany.
