Buildings energy renovation holds significant potential to reduce energy consumption in the building sector. In this sense, there is a growing momentum to extend the concept of nearly zero-energy buildings to entire districts, fostering Net-Zero Energy Districts. This shows the necessity for large-scale urban building energy modelling to identify t...

Energy renovation in buildings is one of the major challenges for the decarbonisation of the building stock. To effectively prioritise decision making regarding the adoption of the most efficient solutions and strategies, it is imperative to develop agile methods to determine the energy performance of buildings on an urban scale, in order to evalua...
The energy renovation in buildings is one of the major challenges for the decarbonization of the building stock. In order to prioritize decision-making in the choice of the most efficient solutions, it is necessary to characterize the behaviour of the building stock and measure the impacts of possible improvements at urban scale. Reaching that poin...
This paper presents a parametric optimization of a building towards the fulfilment of the NZEB standard. The last update of the CTE (Spanish Building Technical Code), which determines the requirements for net-zero energy buildings, establishes some new limitations to be met that need to be studied and applied. In this paper, this whole process will...
The nearly Zero Energy Building concept should be adopted in the renovation of existing buildings and actions upscaled and applied to larger and larger urban areas. In this context, this paper presents an optimization methodology for drafting integral renovation actions at district level. The methodology is based on a MILP model that allows selecti...
El sector de la edificación juega un papel clave en la mitigación del cambio climático. A pesar de la heterogeneidad existente, la longevidad es una característica común del parque edificatorio europeo. En España, aproximadamente el 56% del parque edificatorio fue construido antes de la primera normativa térmica (NBE-CT 79). Así, la rehabilitación...
