In the present work the mesoscale meteorological model Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF), coupled with a multilayer urban canopy parameterization and a building energy model (BEP + BEM), is used to analyze the sensitivity of both urban climatic conditions and building energy consumption on parameters characterizing urban materials and the building environment. In particular, simulations in an idealized urban area, with different urban geometry and under different climatic conditions, are compared to evaluate the relative importance of various parameters. Results highlight that the target indoor temperature has the strongest impact on both building energy consumption and external air temperature. Building energy consumption is also significantly affected by other internal building parameters, such as the ventilation rate and the heat produced by equipment and occupants. On the contrary, no significant influence, either on building energy consumption or on air temperature, is found from changes in wall albedo and emissivity.

在目前的工作中，中尺度气象模型天气研究和预报（WRF），结合多层城市雨棚参数化和建筑能耗模型（BEP + BEM），用于分析城市气候条件和建筑能耗的敏感性。表征城市材料和建筑环境的参数。特别是，比较了在理想化城市区域中具有不同城市几何形状和不同气候条件下的模拟，以评估各种参数的相对重要性。结果表明，目标室内温度对建筑能耗和外部空气温度的影响最大。建筑能耗也受到其他内部建筑参数的显着影响，例如通风率以及设备和人员产生的热量。相反，从墙壁反照率和发射率的变化来看，对建筑能耗或空气温度均无明显影响。
