BENCH_x_ABM Model Family

Behavioral change in ENergy Consumption of Households

A family of agent-based models studying how individual behaviour, social dynamics, and policy interact to shape energy consumption and carbon emissions at household and urban scales. Click any active model in the diagram to download the code or view the associated publication.

Want to explore how BENCH_Buildings_v.4 behaves? Try the interactive demo → — adjust behavioral thresholds and see the impact on renovation rates over time.
