Overheating in existing and renovated Danish single- and multi-family houses

This study compares the overheating risk of eight typical Danish residential buildings for today and future climate scenarios. The includes four single-family multi-family houses, various renovation strategies, two occupancy loads. Building performance simulation is employed to conduct 3012 simulations (using IDA-ICE), comparison potential conducted using Indoor Overheating Degree (IOD). Results showed that houses have a slightly higher than houses. building with highest was one-story house (1951–1960) characterised by large unshaded glazed area. most effective strategy reduce resulted in being window replacement. For baseplate or floor an unheated basement causing overheating. As external wall led largest increase relation unrenovated case. investigation climates could rising outdoor temperatures, whereby interaction between temperature solar radiation crucial factor.
