“…Alphanumeric and INSPIRE cadastral data have been used by other authors to obtain energy building information, e.g., Refs. [ 21 , 36 , 37 ]. In conclusion, alphanumeric and INSPIRE cadastral data enhance the energy models through the incorporation of detailed information about the characteristics of the buildings.…”

“…In an another effort, simple GIS files were used to automatically generate urban building geometries that were then coupled with typical energy use intensities for single-and multi-family houses and retail buildings to simulate and visualize the energy performance of buildings in Evanston, IL, USA [31]. A geo-referenced BSM was used to collect, manage and analyze spatial data in Trondheim, Norway [32]. The GIS model utilized cadastral maps with all the necessary data on building types (i.e., three types of residential building and eight types of service building), the year of construction, and the floor area of the buildings.…”

Data collection and large-scale urban audits are challenging and can be time consuming processes. Geographic information systems can extract and combine relevant data that can be used as input to calculation tools that provide results and quantify indicators with sufficient spatial analysis to facilitate the local decision-making process for building renovations and sustainability assessment. This work presents an open-access tool that offers an automated process that can be used to audit an urban area in order to extract relevant information about the characteristics of the built environment, analyze the building characteristics to evaluate energy performance, assess the potential for the installation of photovoltaics on available building rooftops, and quantify ground permeability. A case study is also presented to demonstrate data collection and processing for an urban city block, and the relevant results are elaborated upon. The method is easily replicable and is based on open data and non-commercial tools.

“…Some existing models focus on identifying the evolution of the building stock itself, either historically (Aksözen et al, 2017;Kleemann et al, 2016;Reyna & Chester, 2014) or by discussing potential future evolution (Lausselet et al, 2020;Olaya et al, 2017;Sandberg et al, 2016). Yet, the majority focus on estimating material or energy flows (Heeren & Hellweg, 2018;Kleemann et al, 2016;Lausselet et al, 2020Lausselet et al, , 2022Marinova et al, 2020;Reyna & Chester, 2014;Sandberg et al, 2017Sandberg et al, , 2021Stephan & Athanassiadis, 2017). Moreover, some models include environmental aspects either by introducing an intensity factor, such as CO 2 -eq per m 2 (Lausselet et al, 2022;Reyna & Chester, 2014;Stephan & Athanassiadis, 2017), or by coupling the model with a life cycle assessment (LCA) (Heeren & Hellweg, 2018).…”

However, a common characteristic of the existing models is the evident need for input data to estimate the dynamics of the building stock and the resulting development of elementary flows.…”

The application of eco‐design principles in the building sector is considered a promising way to mitigate its substantial environmental impacts. However, quantitative evidence for this mitigation potential is lacking. The objective of this study was to quantify the environmental performance of diverse eco‐design strategies when applied to the building sector. A macroscale model capable of simulating the future demand for housing and related material flows within the urban building stock was developed based on an existing building stock model. These material flows were used to build inventories for a consequential life cycle assessment and, in turn, to quantify the potential environmental consequences of introducing eco‐design strategies in the building sector, assessed across 16 impact categories. Model outputs have a high level of uncertainty but are still useful for decision‐making, given the model's simplicity and transparency. The main results show that impact reductions can be obtained from specific uses of wood and wooden products, for example, when used for the walls in high‐rise buildings, whereas using hempcrete for partition walls increases the impact. Although the use of adaptability or disassembly strategies can reduce impacts, this pay‐off can only be obtained after a long period of implementation. In summary, the present study provides new quantitative insights into the ability of eco‐design strategies to mitigate environmental impacts in the building sector.
