Abstract: Various energy conservation measures have been adopted for commercial buildings. However, urban building energy models (UBEMs) have not well addressed the heterogeneity of the stock in terms of adopted energy conservation measures. This paper proposes a logistic regression based method for considering energy conservation measures in a UBEM using building archetypes. A case study using the Japanese commercial building stock confirmed the existence of heterogeneity in the adopted energy conservation measures. An unawareness of this heterogeneity would have a significant impact on the estimated energy demand of the building stock.
