HERA shares its latest review article published in Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, which explores the multi-scale challenges and opportunities of urban energy modeling:

"Modelling the complexity of interconnected energy systems at different urban scales: a critical review"

This work addresses the urgent need for sustainable, resilient urban energy systems to tackle climate change. It offers:

• A comparative review of energy modelling methods across end-user, building, and district scales
  
  

• A critical look at model accuracy, data needs, and complexity for real-world applications
  
  

• A strong advocacy for multi-scale integration and human-centric models in urban energy simulation
  
  

• Insights into how future models can support demand flexibility, clean energy hubs, and interdisciplinary planning
  
  

This study contributes to the objectives of the PRIN HERA project, fostering a holistic approach to energy retrofitting and sustainable urban transitions.
