Since URBiN4HD appears specialized:

If no results, the name might be an internal or renamed tool. In that case, the methodology above using OpenStudio + custom shading + urban canopy remains the state of the art.

urbin4hd aggregate --results results/ --output district_loads.csv

Flags explained:

Add --demand-response flag to shift loads (e.g., pre-cooling, lighting reduction) and calculate 4-hour load shed capability.

URBiN4HD is a workflow and software toolkit designed to simulate and analyze energy use, load flexibility, and thermal dynamics of neighborhoods with high building density (e.g., downtown cores, superblocks, or Asian megacities). It typically extends capabilities like:

Key differentiators from standard UBEM tools:

export URBiN4HD_DATA=/path/to/data export ENERGYPLUS_PATH=/usr/local/EnergyPlus-22-2-0

If no public repo exists: Contact the developers (e.g., research lab, NREL, LBNL) or use the underlying engines (URBANopt + custom scripts) directly.
