To analysis the potential energy savings from adding heat reduction measures, we created an ESP-r model (Open-source thermal modelling software from the University of Strathclyde. Click here to access.)
To model the impact of the different heating measures, it was necessary to assume certain conditions before and after the measures. This table outlines these:
The thermal performance of the building was analysed throughout a typical year. The graph shows the expected heating requirements for each flat in the high-rise building.
