Optimization Results for Mediterranean Urban Block Thermal and Energy Performance

135 simulated configurations from eight Mediterranean city case studies optimize urban block design for thermal comfort and energy use. The dataset includes input parameters, UTCI-based comfort scores, Energy Use Intensity values, and Pareto front results.

Use Cases

• Multi-objective optimization analysis based on Pareto front results
• Correlation studies between urban block input parameters and UTCI comfort scores
• Benchmarking energy performance using Energy Use Intensity values across different configurations
• Training surrogate models for thermal comfort prediction based on simulation data

Strengths

• Includes results for 135 distinct urban block configurations
• Derived from eight real-world Mediterranean city case studies, providing geographic relevance
• Contains multiple output metrics: UTCI comfort scores and Energy Use Intensity values

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain modeling tasks
