The necessary simplification of building stock models to perform energy studies in cities can impact their accuracy. This paper assesses the considering different levels detail characterization stock, by varying number archetypes considered, using a neighborhood Lisbon as case-study. Each archetype represents share buildings and is defined most representative construction parameters average geometrical characteristics. results show that while oversimplification might lead large differences,...
The thermal retrofit of buildings plays a key role to limit global warming. However, the spatial and temporal dynamics urban-scale renovation are not well understood. This paper proposes new methodology that is based on bottom-up building stock model. It links dynamic Material Flow Analysis with Life Cycle Assessment include emissions activity, stock. Alternative scenarios for Lisbon neighborhood analyzed over next 100 years. Thee rates, electricity grid transformation material choice:...
Implementation of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) varies significantly across EU Member States in terms scope and available information, resulting limited reliability, compliance, market penetration or user acceptance. This paper, therefore, investigates the end-user perspectives towards future development EPCs to support EPC schemes EU. Without a full insight into what end-user's demand need, it is impossible make accurate assessments how will become key drivers for deep renovation,...
Today, cities allocate about 50% of world's population, and it is expected that this number will increase up to 80% in the upcoming years. The urban territory responsible for a high percentage natural resources consumption waste generation, therefore resource efficiency critical promote local global sustainability. characteristics morphology growing trend toward transformation give enormous leverage respect. A Smart City could be an answer improving energy efficiency, human living...
European directives are pushing EU member states to promote energy retrofits of their building stocks. Nevertheless, renovation stagnates due many issues, including financial, informational, behavioral, educational and other challenges. All these increase for the public housing sector, where specific problems such as fuel poverty social exclusion sum up common tenant-landlord dilemma. On hand, represents an important asset local governments, both in terms economic value. By improving quality...
In Europe, buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and about 35% the current building stock is over 50 years old. A significant part this determined by buildings’ characteristics. However, cities complex systems with a diverse very large number and, as consequence, quantification in existing requires characterization set types that may represent most built urban environment. It therefore necessary to limit analyse, compromise between feasibility accuracy. As such, there need...
