Typological Study of the Building Heritage on a Gis Platform to Support Territorial Energy Planning Measures

This research was aimed at the implementation of an Urban Building Energy Model, based on an open GIS digital platform, acting as a support for the definition of energy efficiency strategies and recovery of the urban building heritage, specifically for medium-sized contexts with a Mediterranean climate. To guarantee its maximum replicability, the model involves the use of all data commonly available at regional/municipal level (topographic bases, Urban and Detailed Plans, ISTAT data, architectural constraints, etc.), focusing on the public and private buildings of the Municipality of Carbonia. The basic calculation methodology is the one regulated by the technical standards of the sector (UNI TS 11300 and UNI EN ISO 52016). The substantial differences compared to the UBEM models already present in the literature are both the inclusion of other parts of the energy systems (generation and distribution systems) and the use of internal comfort data obtainable from the monitoring system. Another intrinsic peculiarity of the model is its hierarchical structure coded in Python language, capable of displaying and comparing data coming from sensors with standard threshold values, allowing stakeholders and/or individual owners, at the level of the single building, a more informed choice of the advantages connected to the possible intervention scenarios.
