🏙️ Ktirio Urban Building Simulation – Kernante Dataset
This dataset provides comprehensive input data for simulating urban energy performance in the town of Kernante (Saint-Nazaire, Loire-Atlantique, France) using the Ktirio Urban Building (kub) application. It is part of the Ktirio project, which assesses and optimizes urban energy systems using real-world data and numerical simulations.
The dataset supports both Level-of-Detail 0 and 1 (LoD-0 and LoD-1) modeling and includes:
- Building meshes (LoD-0 and LoD-1)
- GIS and location metadata
- Time-series weather data
- Heating system configurations
- Simulation settings
These inputs can be used to run simulations evaluating energy usage, heating strategies, and sensitivity to climate conditions.
📍 Geographic Information
- Location: Kernante, Saint-Nazaire, Loire-Atlantique, France
- Coordinates: 47.3184° N, -2.2239° E
- Map: View on Mapcarta
🧩 Use Cases
- Urban-scale building energy simulation
- Comparison of heater systems (ideal vs boiler)
- Analysis of LoD-0 vs LoD-1 model fidelity
- Integration into the
kub simulation pipeline
📦 Contents
The dataset consists of a single ZIP archive (kernante_input.zip) including all required files to run the simulation.
🛠️ Tools
Designed for use with the kub application. GIS tools (e.g., QGIS), mesh viewers (e.g., Gmsh, ParaView), and Python-based preprocessing scripts can be used for inspection or extension.
