Typology Approach

Various approaches for typological assessment of the energy performance are existing in the European countries. In the following some examples are displayed showing the definition of building types as well of construction and supply system catalogues. Most of these concepts have been applied in the field of energy advice. Some of them are also used for building stock modelling. Also the design of energy performance certificate procedures can be improved by typological aspects which allow simplifications of data acquisition: Instead of the investigation of a large number of building details (e.g. thicknesses and materials of construction layers, lengths and insulation of heat pipes) global values are used which represent typical cases.
