Urban Scale Simulation Of Energy Demand Of Buildings Based On Parametric Simulation Schemes For Real-Life Applications
Massimiliano Condotta, Tiziano Dalla Mora, Giovanni Borga, Fabio PeronAbstract: The paper describes methods and outcomes of an experimental procedure for calculating the energy demand of urban areas and buildings using a bottom-up approach. The procedure was developed in the framework of the European transnational project IDEE funded by the Interreg IV Italy-Austria programme. The devised methodology uses, on the one hand, GIS tools to analyze the urban environment and, on the other hand, a series of parametric dynamic energy simulations to calculate the energy demand of the building stock. Compared to the state of the art – where many solutions are individual experiences tailored to a specific city – the proposed research aims to define a replicable methodology that can be easily repeated in any European city after making sitespecific adjustments and setting specific values to meet national or local requirements.
