Impact of Climate Change and Technological Innovation on the Energy Performance and Built form of Future Cities

The building and transportation sectors are responsible for the greatest proportion of energy consumption in cities. While they intrinsically interlinked with urban built form density, climate change technological innovation having an effect on their relative contributions. This paper aims to develop optimisation framework facilitate identification most energy-efficient forms geometry future environment that can be adapted changing ongoing development. It examines scenarios city London as a temperate zone (as case study), 2050, contrasts it present situation. Specifically, impact along penetration electric vehicles into system charged via rooftop photovoltaics is investigated. study initially develops geometrical models four selected and, secondly, analyzes performance using simulation software. results, showing performance, demonstrate court tunnel-court show better therefore recommended developments London, deep plan buildings lower number storeys large cut-off angle more advantageous terms accommodate expected change. Finally, results trials indicate total demand 2050 considerably higher than result additional cooling load vehicle charging load.
