This chapter aims to evaluate the energy performance of a prefabricated building in the context of climate change and compare the obtained results with the respective outcome for a similar conventional building, made of reinforced concrete and brick masonry. Dynamic energy performance simulations with the Energy Plus simulation tool are conducted for a one-story, family house, located in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece both for present and future climatic conditions. Different wall configurations and various insulation levels are examined. A future climate dataset for the period 2040–2060 is generated using dynamical downscaling approaches, while the RCP4.5 emission scenario is considered. Energy Plus simulations are then conducted for all the conventional and the prefabricated building scenarios for the current conditions and the future period, and the acquired simulation results are presented and discussed.

摘要

This chapter aims to evaluate the energy performance of a prefabricated building in the context of climate change and compare the obtained results with the respective outcome for a similar conventional building, made of reinforced concrete and brick masonry. Dynamic energy performance simulations with the Energy Plus simulation tool are conducted for a one-story, family house, located in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece both for present and future climatic conditions. Different wall configurations and various insulation levels are examined. A future climate dataset for the period 2040–2060 is generated using dynamical downscaling approaches, while the RCP4.5 emission scenario is considered. Energy Plus simulations are then conducted for all the conventional and the prefabricated building scenarios for the current conditions and the future period, and the acquired simulation results are presented and discussed.
