This work proposes an automated workflow using digital twinning for multi-domain environmental performance analysis of urban developments. Digital twins can potentially provide a common basis simulations and help overcome data availability interoperability issues. The proposed consists five steps: (1) creating procedural 3D model, (2) generating design alternatives parametrically, (3) exporting the context each alternative to simulation tool, (4) running wind comfort, energy demand, noise...

A key feature for urban digital twins (DTs) is an automatically generated detailed 3D representation of the built and unbuilt environment from aerial imagery, footprints, LiDAR, or a fusion these. Such models have applications in architecture, civil engineering, planning, construction, real estate, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), many other areas. While visualization large-scale data conjunction with often recurring resource-intensive task, automated workflow complex, requiring steps...

Digital tools for performance-assessment are commonly used to shorten the feedback loop in testing designs buildings and neighbourhoods. However, these do not extend social dimension same way as economic environmental dimensions. This paper aims contribute development of digital design socially sustainable We analyse 115 academic articles establish a theoretical understanding Social Sustainability (SoSu). Based on results, we propose user-interaction model operationalise SoSu process...

Sustainable urban transformation requires comprehensive knowledge about the built environment, including people's perceptions, use of sites, and wishes. Qualitative interviews are conducted to understand better opinions a specific topic or location. This study explores automatization interview coding process by investigating how state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques classify sentiment semantic orientation from transcribed in Swedish. For analysis, Swedish bidirectional...

The desired outcome for urban digital twins is an automatically generated detailed 3D model of a building from aerial imagery, footprints, LiDAR, or fusion these. Such models have applications in architecture, civil engineering, planning, construction, real estate, GIS, and many others. Further, the visualization large-scale data conjunction with often recurring resource-intensive task. However, completely automated end-to-end workflow complex, requiring steps to achieve high-quality...

Abstract The renovation of residential stock is one the most promising areas, in terms energy reduction, because these buildings are highly inefficient and represent largest part building stock. However, environmental impact assessment over life cycle rare. It more common to develop an for new buildings. This study presents a method that combines evaluation benefits renovating buildings, considering cost, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). based on 3 stages development. First, database...

In order to aid the decision making process related provision of public services as maximize benefits for society, it is crucial evaluate current social facilities demand in terms spatial distribution and access. The paper aims solve this problem by proposing a method automated assessment coverage within an urban region using capacitated graph. methodology abstracts residential buildings into nodes service supply graph then uses shortest distance calculations balance two, while prioritizing...

Social sustainability is important to achieve equitable neighbourhoods. However, quantifiably evaluating the social consequences of urban policy and planning challenging often not within reach planners architects. This paper introduces Trip Completion Rate (TCR) as a novel indicator for neighbourhoods using National household travel survey data (NHTS). TCR an accessibility-based representing residents' ability their daily needs while accounting variations in behaviour local built...

Abstract Sustainability is widely recognised as having social, economic, and environmental dimensions. Strategies to combat global climate change inherently have an focus. However, in line with the sustainability agenda, social economic dimensions must also be addressed. Evaluating consequences of decisions often challenging due a lack relevant tools indicators measure track them. This paper presents Trip Completion Rate (TCR) indicator currently under development evaluate policies such...
