Question

How to estimate the size of the building stock of a city, including heating properties, renovations etc? The situation is followed over time, and different policies can be implemented.

Answer

For an example, see Baseline building stock.

Rationale

Calculations

+ Show code- Hide code library(OpasnetUtils) #########3# Calculate all building events (constructions, demolitions, renovations) buildings <- Ovariable("buildings", dependencies = data.frame(Name = c( "buildingStock", # Current building stock "heatingShares", # Heating types of current buildings "efficiencies", # Energy efficiencies of current buildings "construction", # Construction rate in the future "efficienciesNew", # Energy efficiencies in the future "buildingTypes", # A dummy variable to combine two different indices: Building and Building2 "heatingSharesNew", # Heating types of the buildings in the future "renovationShares", # Fraction of renovation type when renovation is done. "renovation", # Percentage of renovations per year "year" # A dummy variable to combine time periods to numerical time axis. )), formula = function(...) { # Current building stock Now <- buildingStock * heatingShares * efficiencies * year # Construction in ten years multiplied by fraction of energy classes and heating types. New <- construction * 10 * efficienciesNew * buildingTypes * heatingSharesNew * year out <- EvalOutput(Ovariable("out", data = orbind(Now, New))) renovationyear <- Ovariable("renovationyear", data = data.frame( Renovationyear = (201:205) * 10, Age = NA, Result = 1 )) temp <- out * renovationyear # temp is the building stock repeated for every potential renovation decade. temp@output$Age <- temp@output$Renovationyear - temp@output$Year # Floor area of renovations in ten years. Combine with continuous index Age. renovations <- continuousOps(temp, renovation, '*') * renovationShares * 10 out <- orbind(out, renovations * -1) # Equal amount stops being non-renovated. out$Renovation <- "None" out <- orbind(out, renovations) out$Renovation <- as.factor(out$Renovation) return(out) } ) ### HeatingEnergy heatingEnergy <- Ovariable("heatingEnergy", dependencies = data.frame(Name = c("energyUse", "savingPotential", "buildings")), formula = function(...) { out <- energyUse * savingPotential * buildings return(out) } ) # Calculate the cumulative impact of the events on building stock to given years timepoints <- function(X, obstimes) { # Function timepoints takes an event list and turns that into existing crosscutting situations at # timepoints defined by years. # X must be an ovariable with index Year. # obstimes must be a vector of years. out <- data.frame() for(i in obstimes) { out <- rbind(out, data.frame( Obstime = i, X@output[X@output$Year <= i , ] )) } X@output <- out X@marginal <- c(TRUE, X@marginal) # Add Obstime to marginal return(X) } objects.store(buildings, heatingEnergy, timepoints) cat("Saved ovariables buildings, heatingEnergy, timepoints\n")
