TL;DR: In this article, an urban weather generator (UWG) is proposed to calculate air temperatures inside urban canyons from measurements at an operational weather station located in an open area outside a city.

TL;DR: In this article, an urban canopy and building energy model based on a thermal network of constant resistances and capacitances is presented, representing the fundamental physical relations that govern the energy interactions between buildings and their urban environment, retaining the sensitivity to the design parameters typically used in building energy and urban climate studies.

TL;DR: A new building energy model (BEM) that has been integrated in the Town Energy Balance (TEB) scheme makes it possible to represent the energy effects of buildings and building systems on the urban climate and to estimate the building energy consumption at city scale with a resolution of a neighbourhood.

TL;DR: The Urban Weather Generator (UWG) is a simple and computationally efficient model that predicts canopy level urban air temperature using meteorological information measured at a reference weather station.
