CONSEQUENCES OF DEVIATIONS BETWEEN SIMULATED AND MEASURED ENERGY USE in retrofitted projects
For the next 40 years, a rate of 3% of the European building stock per year needs to be renovated in order to meet the carbon and economic goals set out in the European Economic Recovery Plan. This puts high demands on the accuracy level of energy simulations software for predicting the energy need for retrofitted buildings. However, in most cases the simulated energy need does not correspond with
