ENERGY Pro: Spatially explicit agent-based model on achieving positive energy districts.

ABSTRACT: This article describes the ENERGY Pro agent-based model using the Overview, Design Concept, and Details + Human Decision-making (ODD+D protocol). The model is empirically explicit and aims to investigate the adoption decisions of homeowners in Amsterdam on different energy-efficient retrofitting (EER) measures. Following the ODD+D protocol, this study uncovers the conceptual framework used for model construction, the spatial microsimulation process of expanding the data, and the model implementation details. The article also describes sensitivity analysis, validation results, and how to use and adapt the model. With this article, the authors aim to make the model replicable and accessible to other researchers and inspire them using the combination of social simulation and spatial mi
