Step 7 Analyze Scenarios
Run Upgrade Scenarios
At this step the energy modeler calculates the operation energy use of the shallow, deep and potentially other upgrade scenarios defined under step 6 using UMI. The simulations are run the same way as for the baseline UBEM in step 5 . Operational energy results are stored in the UMI file.
Analyze Results
Complete simulations can be uploaded the the UBEM.IO Results Analyzer workflow. You can either upgrade all scenarios at once or iteratively define new upgrade scenarios under step 6, run the simulations and add them to Analyze Results.
This workflow allows you to analyze one or more urban building energy scenarios. To get started, upload at least one (.UMI) file with operational building energy results. You need at least two files for a carbon reduction pathway analysis. Once you are done uploading, select "Process Files".
UBEM.IO will alert you in case any buildings in your UMI bundle do not have operational energy use results. You can either proceed or reopen the UMI bundle in UMI and investigate the problem. Note that if you proceed, buildings without operational energy results will have zero related carbon emissions and neighborhood-wide carbon reductions will be overestimated.
