We introduce Infomorphism, an urban planning framework that takes the main characteristics of Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs) as the principal drivers for the simultaneous planning of a city’s collective urban form and energy infrastructure. This paper outlines the three main computational models of the infomorphism framework: 1) a parametric model for the development of an energy-based urban planning envelope, 2) a quantitative model to predict renewable energy supply and building demand, and 3) an optimization model to develop local energy exchange networks. Manhattan is used as a case study for the implementation and assessment of the framework.
