dc.description.abstract | The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) allows building users to be informed and aware of the quality of the buildings in terms of energy needs. Additionally, the EPC includes a future for existing buildings, which is the incorporation of a Recommendation list of Measures (RLMs) to improve their energy performance in a costeffective way. This has risen the question if this tool can provide trustful cost-effective recommendations due despite the use of standardized inputs. This study focuses on estimating the impact of using measured ventilation rate, heating set point and airtightness on the profitability of the recommendations. The study is based on a common dwelling in Norway, comparing results obtained with a Building Performance Simulation Software, following the Norwegian standard for energy certification and with the use of measured ventilation rate, airtightness and real heating set points. The results show that the performance gap can be reduced significantly just by adopting these inputs, increasing the confidence on the RLMs and reducing the uncertainty of the investment. | en |
