The Management of the Energy Performance Simulation of a Complex Building Portfolio. The Case of the School Building Asset of an Italian Municipality

This paper aims at presenting a methodology for the management of multiple energy simulations of complex building assets. The educational buildings of the Milan municipality have been chosen as case studies: several retrofit strategies are tested on hundreds of buildings, evaluating their feasibility and calculating the potential energy savings. The results, obtained with dynamic simulations using SketchUp and the Intelligent Community Design (iCD) plugin are then compared with a static calculation implemented on a regional scale in Lombardy. Besides a methodology for the collection of the input parameters is proposed based on the combination of data coming from several sources.
