The labs are starting development of coupled computational models integrating urban systems such as atmosphere, buildings, transportation, social/economics and energy systems.
Urban scale models of the full electric grid and detailed computational fluid dynamic models at the urban scale are exascale problems that cannot be solved with cloud computing.
These models are fed by a combination of open data, private data, and sensed data. Some of these data are sensitive for either privacy or security reasons, or become sensitive when they are combined together. The labs have subject matter experts trained and cleared to work with such data.
