10 Conclusions & Ongoing works The original system for the simulation of the interaction between building energy demand and urban climate, named WRF-CM-BEM, is used. To substantiate the system performance, yearlong field campaign was conducted in Osaka city. Multi-site measurements on UCL climatology and areal electricity demand have been obtained for the model validation. Statistical characteristics of Intraurban spatial inhomogeneity in observed S are being quantified with significant site-by-site fluctuations. WRF-CM-BEM seems to be able to roughly reproduce those observed S inhomogeneities suggesting its potential application to evaluation of PV power generation. Preliminary analyses suggest promising performance of WRF-CM-BEM so far, in terms of reproducibility of the near-surface air temperature and areal building electricity demand but with a certain overestimation on the latter. Further validations are being carried out using yearlong measurements to clarify the ability of WRF-CM-BEM in coupling simulation of urban climate and building electricity demand.
