Why expanding the scale ? - large influence of decisions at the urban scale on environmental performance of buildings, e.g. spatial organization (compactness, solar exposure, ...) has a strong influence on energy and material flows - possibility to exchange energy between buildings - possibility to study collective equipment like district heating, wasterwater treatment etc. - transport related impacts are important
