Abstract
The proposed research aims to fill this gap by studying the consumption profiles of urban citizens in terms of energy use (heat, gas and electricity) in buildings and mobility within the city area in relation to both urban morphology (e.g., average distance from home to workplace, inter-distance among services, inter-distance among streets, building type) and behavioral patterns (e.g., work and home activities schedule, preferred means of mobility).
