dc.description.abstract | Although energy analysis techniques can contribute to substantial energy savings in
housing stock retrofitting operations, the outcomes often deviate significantly from the predicted
results, which tend to overestimate potential savings by overestimating the starting energy baselines,
particularly in southern Europe. This deviation can be largely attributed to occupant practice relating
to the use of air conditioning facilities and the temperatures at which occupants feel comfortable.
The patterns observed differed widely from standard values. In this study environmental variables,
primarily indoor air temperature both with and without HVAC, were monitored in occupied
dwellings for a full year. The data gathered were supplemented with surveys on occupants’
temperature-related behaviour to define comfort patterns. The findings show that the standards in
place are not consistent with actual comfort-accepted patterns in medium- to low-income housing in
southern Spain, where energy consumption was observed to be lower than expected, mostly because
occupants endure unsuitable, even unhealthy, conditions over long periods of time. A new user
profile, better adjusted to practice in southern Europe, particularly in social housing, is proposed to
reflect the current situation. | es |
