Energy renovation strategy in AMB

Proposal

The project was commissioned by the Metropolitan Housing Consortium (CMH-AMB) in view of the need to substantiate a request for financial support from the European Investment Bank and to prioritise the actions to be carried out subsequently in the areas declared to be the most vulnerable from various points of view.

Objectives

The main objective is to establish a system of guidelines that will make it possible to prioritize the intervention of energy rehabilitation in an area of special vulnerability, according to different points of view to be agreed upon.

Approach

The methodology used allows for the joint analysis of the 204,394 dwellings that make up the scope of the study. The work is structured in 5 phases: the first 4 make up the statistically rigorous diagnosis of the residential park by processing cadastral data, energy simulation on an urban scale based on ISO 52016-1:2017 and the contribution of own data relating to the constructive and thermal properties of the different elements. The last phase, of a propositional nature and conceptual relevance, informs about the guidelines for prioritizing energy renovation interventions based on 3 criteria agreed upon with the CMH-AMB: energy vulnerability, economic vulnerability and efficiency of the intervention.

Results

The results of the study, in database, viewer and report format, are grouped into 3 levels according to their level of complexity and relevance

Diagnostic indicators of the housing stock:
- Architectural Clustering,
- 3 indicators of thermal behaviour,
- 3 indicators of energy demand,
- 5 indicators of energy consumption,
- 7 economic indicators.
System of prioritization criteria by census section:
- 4 energy criteria,
- 7 economic criteria,
- 2 cross-cutting criteria.
System of prioritization of interventions by census section:
- ¿Where to intervene if energy vulnerability is prioritized?
- ¿Where to intervene if economic vulnerability is prioritized?
- ¿Where to intervene if the effectiveness of the intervention is prioritized?
