Doctoral research

Energy in the urban context: influence of urban patterns on the energy demand of residential buildings. The case study of Rotterdam.

The research estimates the influence of urban patterns and their inertia on the energy demand of residential buildings. It samples 24 existing housing clusters in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, that are characterised by an increasing complexity of the urban texture. The sampling has been conducted through a cluster analysis of the morphological data of the existing stock. Sun radiation and the energy demand for heating and cooling have been computed within a GIS model. The results depicts the characteristics of the morphology of combined buildings, in relation to the uniformity of the texture, building types distribution and seriality of the pattern.
