This group researches on the actual energy consumption of buildings. In addition to the energy consumption analysis, energy conservation policies and measures for CO2 mitigation policies are evaluated. A simulation model has been developed in order to predict future energy consumption in the residential and commercial energy demand sectors. The building energy consumption depend on different specifications such as lifestyle of resident behaviors, weather conditions, equipment specifications, etc. The model developed by this group takes into account the structure of the energy consumption which enables to understand the impact caused by each one of the specifications above mentioned individually. By using this model, it is possible to measure the amount of carbon emission reduction while applying different methods for the mitigation of global warming.
