Abstract

Urban areas have become energy intensive hubs that need of solutions for significantly reduce carbon emission in the next decades. For that reason, the exploration of different energy conservation measures alternatives is crucial for meeting the desired environmental goals. In such contest, the paper proposes a procedure, based on real-time monitored data, for characterizing the thermal and electric consumption of urban public buildings (schools, offices, etc.). The paper aims at providing rich information about the building performances and occupation schedules for finding opportunities for better control/regulation/energy service contracts strategies for operating public buildings. The procedure is applied to case study buildings in Rivalta di Torino and demonstrates that most of buildings can really benefit from this analysis leading to a more comfortable work environment and contemporary reducing their energy consumption at an affordable cost.
