Methodology to characterize a residential building stock using a bottom-up approach: a case study applied to Belgium

Characteristics of household energy consumption in the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine war - a case study from Hungary

“…Since the publication of Haas [40], a pioneering work on the subject, a number of studies have been published (e.g. [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33] with the aim of determining the most important critical factors that affect residential energy use.…”

Framework to assess climate change impact on heating and cooling energy demands in building stock: A case study of Belgium in 2050 and 2100

“…These datasets are used to generate diverse future projections and assess associated uncertainties for different SSP scenarios, namely SSP5-85, SSP3-70, and SSP2-45. The paper also develops the tree structure model that represents the residential building stock in Belgium initiated by Gendebien et al [19], considering the updated measures to meet the renovation targets in Belgium by 2050. The final building stock is divided into 752 cases representing 4,675,433 buildings in the base scenario in 2012 which increases by 0.348% in 2050 to reach 6,152,311 dwellings in the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario by considering annual rates for demolition, construction and renovation.…”

Modeling the impact of Climate Change on Future Heating Demand in Different Types of Buildings in the Belgian residential building stock

“…The proposed approach in this tool for the determination of the building stock is a hybrid approach (mix between "typical" and "representative" approach). The typical approach involves composing a set of typical dwellings closely related to existing buildings and existing building components, chosen for their reference value compared to the examined stock, while the representative approach involves modeling a set of fictional buildings based on average values, the hybrid approach combines the strength of each approach as stated in (Gendebien et al, 2015). Four dwelling types are selected: a free-standing house, a semi-detached house, a terraced house and an apartment.…”
