UBEM incorporating WWR detected using deep learning and street view imagery

Hi all,

I’m sharing a publication and code for a GIS-to-UBEM workflow based on 24 different building archetypes, using Grasshopper with the Urbano and Dragonfly plug-ins.

The UBEM also incorporates WWR values for each orientation of each building (for a total of 1,432 building volumes), detected using a deep learning model.

Article title: “Detecting window-to-wall ratio for urban-scale building simulations using deep learning with street view imagery and an automatic classification algorithm”.
