Housing stock models have long been employed to estimate the
baseline energy demand of the existing housing stock, as well as to predict the
effectiveness of applying different retrofit measures and renewable technologies
on reducing the energy demand and corresponding CO2 emissions. This
research aims to develop a dynamic housing stock model to simulate the hourby-hour
energy demands of 1.2 million dwellings in the North East (NE) of
England using the 2008-9 English Housing Survey (EHS) data. The model is
validated by comparison to a steady-state energy model. Using the model, new
results predicting the impact of a large scale retrofit programme for the NE
housing stock are generated.
