Abstract
This paper presents an innovative analysis of a likely scenario in developed countries: An ageing population and an increase in energy efficiency of the building stock. In this paper we present the case of the city of Hamburg, Germany. The aim of this paper is to analyse the changing heat consumption patterns on a city with: (1) an ageing population and (2) a rapid increase in its building energy efficiency. For the analysis in this paper we compared demographic changes of the population and improvements on the building stock to a base scenario in 2010. The results from this analysis show: (1) the effect on energy reduction of different retrofit scenarios; and (2) Districts most affected by the explicit consideration of user behaviour in urban heat demand models.
