The role of new technologies in understanding the building energy performance: a comparative study

Abstract

This paper aims to understand the most important factors affecting the building energy performance as well as the role of a high performant construction in reducing the energy consumption. To be able to carry out this study, some new technologies such as a 3D scanner and energy simulation software were used. The results of the study show that a performant construction doesn’t necessarily optimize the consumption. Other factors mainly related to the occupation are playing a big role in the final consumption.
