The world is facing environmental problem described as climate change and exhaustion of fossil fuel. In order to solve theses problems, importance of renewable energy is extremely growing. For stable energy supply, it is need to apply hybrid renewable energy systems in urban-scale, because some renewable energy system' outputs are greatly influenced by climatic condition. Especially, solar irradiation and wind velocity are influenced by urban geometric environment as well as climatic condition. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate the renewable energy potential according as urban form. This study aims to evaluate the potential of solar energy and wind energy in urban-scale and classify urban type according as characteristics of urban forms. The results of this study will be used to develop renewable energy system application guidelines for urban and energy planning.
