- Abstract
Despite the recent legislative advances in terms of energy savings in the building sector, it is still responsible for a high percentage of the total energy consumption in the European Union. In the specific case of Spain, this is due to the fact that more than a half of the residential building stock was built before this new regulatory framework. So, they do not meet the necessary constructive requirements to provide the optimal comfort conditions for its occupants from the energy efficiency viewpoint. This study aims to demonstrate the utility of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to perform the energy diagnosis of existing urban areas. To do this, a methodology for the energy assessment of the residential building stock has been developed. The use of GIS enables information processing and provides a visual and intuitive interface to graphically represent the results in urban energy maps. The results of this study allow the graphic identification of buildings according to their energy performance. The proposed methodology is a tool to assist the stakeholders involved in urban regeneration processes when identifying the areas with greatest energy vulnerability. This methodology is a useful tool for decision-making and prioritization of actions.
