Modeling Building Stock Development

It is widely agreed that dynamics of building stocks are relatively poorly known even if it recognized to be an important research topic. Better understanding stock and future development crucial, e.g., for sustainable management the built environment as various analyses require long-term projections development. Recognizing uncertainty in relation modeling, we propose a transparent calculation-based QuantiSTOCK model modeling Our approach not only provides tangible tool when selected assumptions valid but also, most importantly, allows studying sensitivity results alternative developments key variables. Therefore, this simple fruitful grounds impact different variables, which needed facilitate meaningful debate on housing, land use, environment-related policies. The may extended numerous ways lays groundwork stocks. presented used wide range ranging from assessing housing demand at regional level providing input defining pathways towards climate targets. Due availability high-quality data, Finnish provided great test arena
