Case Studies

These following case studies illustrate various aspects of energy/environmental modelling and simulation. Note that the first batch originate from ESRU and all relate to the ESP-r system while the second batch relate to projects undertaken by other groups using a range of modelling tools. You might also wish to consult ESP-r's in-built example models which illustrate a wide range of modelling features.
