While these problems are present at building level, they are multiplied at district level, where there are complex interactions to analyse, simulate and improve. OptEEmAL proposes a solution as a decision-support tool for the design of energy retrofitting projects at district level. Based on specific input data (IFC(s), CityGML, etc.), the platform will automatically simulate the baseline scenario and launch an optimisation process where a series of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) will be applied to this scenario. Its performance will be evaluated through a holistic set of indicators to obtain the best combination of ECMs that complies with user's objectives. A great reduction in time and higher accuracy in the models are experienced, since they are automatically created and checked. A subjective problem is transformed into a mathematical problem; it simplifies it and ensures a more robust decision-making. This paper will present a case where the platform has been tested.726729enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOptEEmAL: Decision-Support Tool for the Design of Energy Retrofitting Projects at District Level: Decision-Support Tool for the Design of Energy Retrofitting Projects at District Levelconference output10.1088/1755-1315/290/1/012129Decision makingIntelligent buildingsRetrofittingStructural designSustainable developmentDecision makingIntelligent buildingsRetrofittingStructural designSustainable developmentGeneral Environmental ScienceGeneral Earth and Planetary SciencesProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/680676/EU/Optimised Energy Efficient Design Platform for Refurbishment at District Level/OptEEmALinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/680676/EU/Optimised Energy Efficient Design Platform for Refurbishment at District Level/OptEEmALFunding InfoThis research work has been partially funded by the European Commission though the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 680676.
