Contents:

Part 1: Introduction -- 1. The Growing Importance of Urban Energy Systems -- 2. Conceptualizing Urban Energy Systems -- 3. A Brief History of Urban Energy Systems -- Part 2: Urban Energy Use and Technologies -- 4. Building Energy Service Demands -- 5. Distributed Multi-generation and District Energy Systems -- 6. Bioenergy and Other Urban Renewables -- 7. Urban Transport Technologies -- Part 3: Analysing Urban Energy Systems -- 8. Modelling Urban Energy Systems -- 9. Optimization and Systems Integration -- 10. Ecologically Inspired Optimization Modelling -- 11. Activity-based Modelling -- 12.Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis-- Part 4: Implementing Solutions -- 13. Managing Transitions in Urban Energy Systems -- 14. Cities of the Future -- 15. Conclusion Appendix. Optimization Techniques

Summary: Energy demands of cities need to be met more sustainably. This book analyses the technical and social systems that satisfy these needs and asks how methods can be put into practice to achieve this. Drawing on analytical tools and case studies developed at Imperial College London, the book presents state-of-the-art techniques for examining urban energy systems as integrated systems of technologies, resources, and people. Case studies include:a history of the evolution of London's urban energy system, from pre-history to present daya history of the growth of d.
