Guidelines for Community Energy Planning

This book systematically introduces readers to the operator method, which can be used in different stages of urban planning. Energy planning should ideally be accompanied by urban planning, ranging from comprehensive planning and detailed planning, to the design of individual construction projects. This book discusses a range of methods and models for defining energy planning objectives; analyzing and predicting energy demand; assessing available energy resources; optimizing integrated energy systems; analyzing the cost-effectiveness of proposals; implementation management; and post-assessment. Part one focuses on energy planning in different urban planning stages, while part two provides detailed discussions of key issues related to energy planning.

Now, she involves in the project “Solutions to heating and cooling of building in the Yangtze river region” (Grant No.2016YFC0700305-02) and “The study of energy system and planning optimization technology in urban new district” (Grant No. 2018YFC0704602). 

Dr. Zishuo Huang, Assistant Professor, College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University. 

Zishuo Huang get his doctorate degree in Tongji University. Dr. Huang’s PhD thesis is about integrated energy system planning, which research concentrated on the future form of urban energy utilization. A new methodology to realize multi energy sources synthetically and efficiently utilization in urban area has been proposed. On account of the urban construction situations in China, a type of urban energy planning method which can integrat in urban detailed plan being developed. Three energy flow analysis models used to support community energy planning at urban detailed plan stage.The research field of Dr. Huang in recent years stilled focused on urban energy system optimization. Now he is responsible for a research project from Shanghai Science and Technology Committee, which research target is clarifying the relationship between agents’ available information and the configuration of urban energy network.
