Solar Energy Integration in Urban Planning

This 3-day workshop explores how Artificial Intelligence and geospatial technologies can transform solar energy integration in urban planning. Participants will learn how to use AI models for detecting rooftop and façade potential, apply digital twins and solar simulations to complex cityscapes, and leverage decision-support tools for policy and design. Through case studies and practical demonstrations, the workshop bridges AI, architecture, and urban energy strategy to accelerate the transition toward carbon-neutral and energy-positive cities.

To introduce participants to AI-driven methods and geospatial tools for optimizing rooftop and façade solar PV deployment in urban areas, enabling smarter planning, enhanced energy efficiency, and sustainable city development.
