A model to foresee building heat performance

In the last decades, the rehabilitation market has become increasingly significant in France. In particular, the renovation of university sites and hospitals from the 1970s, which is a fast growing segment of the French construction market. In parallel, the office and residential buildings construction sector is becoming a lot more environmentally friendly, with more efficient buildings and more advanced sustainable systems such as better design and implementation of renewable energy sources. This Master thesis, carried out in France with the company Elioth, focuses exclusively on the renovation market. The goal of this thesis is to determine a model that delivers forecast consumption for an existing building. The efforts during this Master Thesis project have been put to one typology of building in situation of an energetic performance commitment at Elioth. Rehabilitation projects on university campuses are the most ongoing and urgent demand from the company. So university as a based building has been chosen to support the thesis. The result of this Master thesis is a practical supporting protocol along with an operative tool named “Estim’ELIOTH”. It enables environmental engineers to define the data in their possession in order to use the tool to determine the energy consumption of the building studied. This feature aims to provide information for energy performance commitment management in the early stages of the design. Nowadays, this is essential for renovation projects in France.
