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: generalbicsscfeature selectionprediction of energy consumptionelectricity consumptionmachine learningnon-residential buildingssustainabilitybuildingsneighbourhoodsdecision-making processkey performance indicatorsKPIsbuilt environmentauditassessment toolsbrick 1moisture 2heat flow 3energetic rehabilitation 4non-destructive test 5energy community (EC)renewable energy sources (RESs)citizen involvementco-ownership in renewable energiesnonresidential buildingsbaselinesEUIenergy use intensitiescarbon emission intensitiesEPCsenergy performance certificatesbuilding energy simulationschool buildingfield measurementsvalidationairingwindows and door openingoccupancy behaviourenergy efficiency measuresretrofittingthermo-modernizationfinal energyprimary energyenergy consumptionhome energy management systemhuman comfort factorthermal comfortvisual comfortdemand responseenergy performanceenergy auditsschool buildingsindoor climateHeLLoenergy retrofitnon-destructive testin situhygrothermal measurementdynamic conditionshygrothermal simulationhistoric walldaylightlighting controllightingoccupant preferencesoccupant satisfactionphotosensorpost-occupancy evaluationsurveysingle-family housesembodied energyoperational energybenchmarksrenovationsenergy use intensity (EUI)embodied energy intensity (EEI)energy recovery timeResearch & information: generalBalaras Constantinos Aedt1289240Balaras Constantinos AothBOOK9910557551103321Building Energy Audits-Diagnosis and Retrofitting3021127UNINA
