The contributions address historic buildings, baselines for non-residential buildings from energy performance audits, and from in-situ measurements, monitoring, and analysis of data, and verification of energy saving and model calibration for various building types. The works report on how to diagnose existing problems and identify priorities, assess, and quantify the opportunities and measures that improve the overall building performance and the environmental quality and well-being of occupants in non-residential buildings and houses. Several case studies and lessons learned from the field are presented to help the readers identify, quantify, and prioritize effective energy conservation and efficiency measures. Finally, a new urban sustainability audit and rating method of the built environment addresses the complexities of the various issues involved, providing practical tools that can be adapted to match local priorities in order to diagnose and evaluate the current state and future scenarios towards meeting specific sustainable development goals and local priorities.Research & information: generalbicsscairingassessment toolsauditbaselinesbenchmarksbrick 1building energy simulationbuildingsbuilt environmentcarbon emission intensitiescitizen involvementco-ownership in renewable energiesdaylightdecision-making processdemand responsedynamic conditionselectricity consumptionembodied energyembodied energy intensity (EEI)energetic rehabilitation 4energy auditsenergy community (EC)energy consumptionenergy efficiency measuresenergy performanceenergy performance certificatesenergy recovery timeenergy retrofitenergy use intensitiesenergy use intensity (EUI)EPCsEUIfeature selectionfield measurementsfinal energyheat flow 3HeLLohistoric wallhome energy management systemhuman comfort factorhygrothermal measurementhygrothermal simulationin situindoor climatekey performance indicatorsKPIslightinglighting controlmachine learningmoisture 2neighbourhoodsnon-destructive testnon-destructive test 5non-residential buildingsnonresidential buildingsoccupancy behaviouroccupant preferencesoccupant satisfactionoperational energyphotosensorpost-occupancy evaluationprediction of energy consumptionprimary energyrenewable energy sources (RESs)renovationsretrofittingschool buildingschool buildingssingle-family housessurveysustainabilitythermal comfortthermo-modernizationvalidationvisual comfortwindows and door openingResearch & information: generalBalaras Constantinos Aedt1289240Balaras Constantinos AothBOOK9910557551103321Building Energy Audits-Diagnosis and Retrofitting3021127UNINA
