With the advent of urban scale reality models, creating community, campus or Urban Building Energy Models (UBEM) has become as easy as a few hours of capturing photos with a drone. Combining the virtual model with benchmarking, facility, utility, management data and BIM models allows data to be easily queried. This presentation demonstrates several examples of how UBEM can visualize and report on benchmarking, utility and facility management data at the community, campus or urban scale. Virtual navigation of a campus and several cities will demonstrate how UBEM can be used to measure, analyze and report readily available urban data.
