Animated Map: Dynamic Changes of Heating and Cooling Demand of Buildings in a Community
Introduction to the Dynamic Energy Mapping Project
The project aims at implementing a Dynamic Energy Demand Map that holds, visualizes and analyzes high spatial (each building, building group and the community) temporal (hourly) resolution energy demand data of a community with the focus on creating a highly integrated visualization and an interface is designed to serve this purpose. The target user of the interface is researchers in energy related fields with the basic abilities of map reading, understanding moderately complicated map legend and data plot and understanding building energy performance attributes and their implications. A general purpose design is created to provide both qualitative and quantitative information and to suit different research interests of this user group.

The approach is demonstrated with a conceptual community model created in CityEngine based on the land use pattern of a mixed-use redevelopment project at Lower Hill District, Pittsburgh, PA. The hourly energy demand profile is retrieved from the simulation of DOE Commercial Prototype Building ASHRAE90.1-2013. The interface is written in Python.
