Comfort and economic criteria for selecting passive measures for the energy refurbishment of residential buildings in Catalonia

This paper presents a detailed method to develop cost-optimal studies for the energy renovation of residential buildings. A realistic characterization of the building has been introduced, using measurement and survey data. The method allows improving the interaction between the occupancy and the building, and the characterization of the real state of the construction. In addition, […]
