The lack of urban-specific climate data is, today, one of the major limits for an accurate estimation of the building energy performance in the urban context. The urban climate is substantially modified by the “heat island” effect that determines an increase of the air temperature compared to the surrounding rural areas. By contrast, the weather data used to run the energy simulations normally refer to rural or suburban weather stations, causing relevant errors in the energy assessment, especially in hot climates.This study aims at evaluating the accuracy of the Urban Weather Generator (UWG), a model developed for generating urban weather files from rural weather data in order to improve the accuracy of the building energy simulations in th...
