Abstract：

In response to global warming, promoting energy efficiency is an important research field of green buildings and ecological cities. On the building level, energy simulation technology is quite mature. However, it is more difficult to simulate energy consumption on the urban level due to the large number of individual buildings, various types, diverse structures, and complex urban facilities,  thus new methods must be developed to calculate urban energy consumption. This paper summarizes the general process of urban energy simulation aiming at the most advanced simulation methods in the world, and compares the different methods of urban energy simulation based on this process. The research of urban energy consumption simulation methods can provide powerful technical support for urban energy policy formulation, urban energy security and urban energy conservation.
