Abstract
The challenge of finding dedicated and sufficiently
informative indicators for energy efficiency of buildings
was explored in a literature study and a simulated case.
A set of indicators of energy efficiency was developed.
The proposed indicators were tested with simulation and
the results suggest that the indicators are applicable
for practical use. Indicators of energy efficiency are
needed urgently, since approximately 40% of energy in the
European Union (EU) is consumed in buildings. The success
of the efforts to improve the energy efficiency in
buildings is to a large part dependent on the
availability of reliable metrics to quantify the level of
efficiency.
