Project

Adding energy-system functionality to a digital twin

We expanded the Digital Urban Climate Twin (DUCT) of the ETH Zurich to enable the real-time simulation of district cooling systems. We also integrated modules from the City Energy Analyst, a tool for analyzing urban energy systems, into the DUCT. This enhancement will help cities and municipalities when it comes to planning carbon-neutral sites and buildings. Cities, municipalities, property owners, and private enterprises all stand to benefit from our consulting services on the tool’s application.
