Building typologies as a tool for assessing the energy performance of residential buildings – A case study for the Hellenic building stock

A modelling strategy for energy, carbon, and cost assessments of building stocks

“…The current literature indicates that similar data are available for the USA and Belgium [5,14]. In addition, a common European approach (TABULA) has recently been developed for deriving building typologies, and an example of application to the Hellenic building stock is available [28]. Nonetheless, certain assumptions have to be made, e.g., regarding U-values and ventilation rates in relation to the age of the building, depending on the quality of the data available in the different Member States [14].…”

A methodology for predicting the energy performance and indoor thermal comfort of residential stocks on the neighbourhood and city scales. A case study in Spain

“…The methodology presented here combined different technologies that enriched the accuracy of the work. (Shorrock and Dunster, 1997) • Johnston et al (2005) • UKDCM (Boardman, 2007) • DECarb (Natarajan and Levermore, 2007) • • • EEP (Jones et al, 2007) • • • CDEM (Firth et al, 2010) • • DECM (Cheng and Steemers, 2011) • VerbCO2M (Hens et al, 2001) • • TABULA (Dascalaki et al, 2011) • The methodology is conceived as a generic multi-staged methodology that can be replicated in the other neighbourhoods of the analysed city, or in any other city, by implementing the steps described herein. It has also been defined as a lively method that can be continuously updated with the addition of new variables or covariates in order to investigate other aspects and their relationship with building energy performance.…”

Facade typologies as a tool for selecting refurbishment measures for the Spanish residential building stock

“…Moreover, the existing residential building stock is so large and varied in Spain that defining a study period is essential. A chosen period provides the researcher with the building construction types and facilitates his concentration on the changes of thermal behavior due to different layers of the facades [6]. By knowing the thermal behavior, it is possible to provide a better solution on how to upgrade the energy efficiency for each type of facade.…”

“…The classification of buildings was initially based on the year of construction [6]. The number of buildings was obtained from data taken from the National Statistics Institute.…”
