Deadline: 30 Jun 2027Open and Reproducible Approaches for Urban Climate and Building Performance Modelling
Introduction Buildings and construction remain a major driver of global environmental change, accounting for approximately 34% of global CO₂ emissions and 32% of global energy consumption. At the same time, climate change, urban heat, and increasing environmental stressors are intensifying the need for robust, transparent, and scalable approaches to urban and building performance assessment. Advances in digital technologies, open-source computational tools, urban datasets, and interoperable workflows are transforming how researchers and practitioners investigate urban environments, evaluate mitigation strategies, and support evidence-based decision-making. As urban environmental modelling becomes increasingly data- and computation-intensive, reproducibility, interoperability, transparency, and reusable workflows are emerging as critical scientific challenges. While significant advances have been made in simulation platforms, digital twins, AI-assisted analytics, and urban-scale environmental modelling, methodological fragmentation, limited reproducibility, inconsistent data practices, and software interoperability barriers continue to hinder knowledge transfer and large-scale implementation across different climatic and urban contexts. This issue, “ Open and Reproducible Approaches for Urban Climate and Building Performance Modelling ”, aims to advance open and transferable urban environmental modelling ecosystems capable of supporting climate-responsive research and practice across different climatic and urban contexts. The issue welcomes innovative contributions addressing open, reproducible, and data-driven approaches for urban climate, building science, resilience, and sustainability research. Topics of interest include urban climate modelling and monitoring, outdoor thermal comfort, urban heat mitigation, building energy and environmental simulation, zero-carbon building and district decarbonisation modelling, materials and technologies, digital twins, GIS-based analysis, AI-assisted environmental assessment, uncertainty quantification, validation methodologies, open datasets, and decision-support systems for climate-responsive urban development. Particular emphasis is placed on methodological studies, benchmarking and validation research, interoperable workflows, software-oriented contributions, benchmark datasets, and reproducibility studies supporting transparent and reusable scientific practices. Contributions discussing uncertainty, limitations, and interoperability challenges are also encouraged. Collectively, these contributions will help advance more transparent, interoperable, and transferable urban environmental modelling practices. The Issue Themes This Issue aims to cover topics including, but not limited to, the following topics: Urban climate modelling, monitoring, and multi-scale analysis Urban heat island dynamics and mitigation strategies Outdoor thermal comfort and human-centric urban microclimate studies Building energy performance, zero carbon pathways, and district-scale decarbonisation modelling Cool materials, passive design, and urban heat mitigation technologies Digital twins, urban data platforms, and integrated simulation environments Open-source tools, interoperable workflows, and reproducible research practices Data-driven methods, AI, and machine learning for urban and building systems Validation, benchmarking, and uncertainty quantification in models and simulations Open datasets, measurement campaigns, and evidence-based decision-support systems Academic Editors Gloria Pignatta (g.pignatta@unsw.edu.au) Title: Scientia Senior Lecturer Affiliation: School of Built Environment, University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia Official website: https://www.unsw.edu.au/staff/gloria-pignatta Gloria Pignatta is a Scientia Senior Lecturer in the School of Built Environment at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia, and leads the Advanced Modelling and Building Performance (AMBP) Research Laboratory.
