[[image:Building model causal diagram.png|thumb|400px|Causal diagram of the [[building model]]. The actual model is up to the yellow node Building stock, and the rest is an example how the result can be used in models downstream.]]


The model uses the following ovariables and their inputs:
The building model follows the development of a city's or area's building stock over time. The output of the model is the floor area (or volume, depending on the input data) of the building stock of a city at specified timepoints, classified by energy efficiency, heating type, and optionally by other case-specific characteristics. The model functions as part of Opasnet's modeling environment and it is coded using R. It uses specific R objects called [[ovariable]]s. The model can also be downloaded and run on one's own computer.


<math>buildings = (stockBuildings + changeBuildings) * heatingShares * efficiencyShares * renovationShares * renovationRate</math>
The model is given data about the building stock of a certain city or area during a certain period of time. The data can be described with very different levels of precision depending on the situation and what kind of information is needed. Some kind of data on the energy efficiency and heating type is necessary, but even rough estimates suffice. Then again, if there is sufficient data, the model can analyse even individual buildings.
 
In addition to that, the model can describe changes in the building stock, i.e. construction of new buildings and demolishing
of old ones. Data on the heating- and energy efficiencies of new and demolished buildings is required at the same level of precision as that of other buildings. This data is used to calculate how construction and demolishing change the building stock's size and heating types.
 
The model takes into account the energy renovation of existing buildings. They are analysed using two variables:
firstly, what fraction of the building stock is energy renovated yearly and secondly, what type of renovation it is.
This information, too, can be rough or precise and detailed. It can describe the whole building stock with a single number or be
specific data on the time, the building's age, use or other background information.
 
:''For examples of model use, see [[Helsinki energy decision 2015]], [[Building stock in Kuopio]] and [[Climate change policies and health in Kuopio]].
 
The overall equation in the model is this:
 
<math>B_{t,h,e,r} = \int\int (Bs_{c,t,a} Hs_h Es_e + Bc_{c,h,e,t,a}) Rr_a Rs_{r,t} O)\mathrm{d}c \mathrm{d}a</math>
 
* B = buildings, floor area of buildings in specified groups
* Bs = stockBuildings, floor area of the current buildings
* Bc = changeBuildings, floor area of constructed and demolished (as negative areas) buildings
* Hs = heatingShares, fractions of different heating types in a group of buildings
* Es = efficiencyShares, fractions of different efficiency classes in a group of buildings
* Rr = renovationRate, fraction of buildings renovated per year
* Rs = renovationShares, fractions of different renovation types performed when buildings are renovated
* O = obstime, timepoints for which the building stock is calculated.
* Indices required (also other indices are possible)
** t = Obsyear, time of observation. This is renamed Time on the output data.
** c = Construction year (the index is named 'Time' in the input data), time when the building was built.
** a = Age, age of building at a timepoint. This is calculated as a = t - b.
** h = Heating, primary heating type of a building
** e = Efficiency, efficiency class of building when built
** r = Renovation, type of renovation done to a non-renovated building (currently, you can only renovate a building once)
 
The model is iterative across the Obsyear index so that renovations performed at one timepoint are inherited to the next timepoint, and that situation is the starting point for renovations in that timepoint.

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

Causal diagram of the building model. The actual model is up to the yellow node Building stock, and the rest is an example how the result can be used in models downstream.

The building model follows the development of a city's or area's building stock over time. The output of the model is the floor area (or volume, depending on the input data) of the building stock of a city at specified timepoints, classified by energy efficiency, heating type, and optionally by other case-specific characteristics. The model functions as part of Opasnet's modeling environment and it is coded using R. It uses specific R objects called ovariables. The model can also be downloaded and run on one's own computer.

The model is given data about the building stock of a certain city or area during a certain period of time. The data can be described with very different levels of precision depending on the situation and what kind of information is needed. Some kind of data on the energy efficiency and heating type is necessary, but even rough estimates suffice. Then again, if there is sufficient data, the model can analyse even individual buildings.

In addition to that, the model can describe changes in the building stock, i.e. construction of new buildings and demolishing of old ones. Data on the heating- and energy efficiencies of new and demolished buildings is required at the same level of precision as that of other buildings. This data is used to calculate how construction and demolishing change the building stock's size and heating types.

The model takes into account the energy renovation of existing buildings. They are analysed using two variables: firstly, what fraction of the building stock is energy renovated yearly and secondly, what type of renovation it is. This information, too, can be rough or precise and detailed. It can describe the whole building stock with a single number or be specific data on the time, the building's age, use or other background information.

For examples of model use, see Helsinki energy decision 2015, Building stock in Kuopio and Climate change policies and health in Kuopio.

The overall equation in the model is this:

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle B_{t,h,e,r} = \int\int (Bs_{c,t,a} Hs_h Es_e + Bc_{c,h,e,t,a}) Rr_a Rs_{r,t} O)\mathrm{d}c \mathrm{d}a}

  • B = buildings, floor area of buildings in specified groups
  • Bs = stockBuildings, floor area of the current buildings
  • Bc = changeBuildings, floor area of constructed and demolished (as negative areas) buildings
  • Hs = heatingShares, fractions of different heating types in a group of buildings
  • Es = efficiencyShares, fractions of different efficiency classes in a group of buildings
  • Rr = renovationRate, fraction of buildings renovated per year
  • Rs = renovationShares, fractions of different renovation types performed when buildings are renovated
  • O = obstime, timepoints for which the building stock is calculated.
  • Indices required (also other indices are possible)
    • t = Obsyear, time of observation. This is renamed Time on the output data.
    • c = Construction year (the index is named 'Time' in the input data), time when the building was built.
    • a = Age, age of building at a timepoint. This is calculated as a = t - b.
    • h = Heating, primary heating type of a building
    • e = Efficiency, efficiency class of building when built
    • r = Renovation, type of renovation done to a non-renovated building (currently, you can only renovate a building once)

The model is iterative across the Obsyear index so that renovations performed at one timepoint are inherited to the next timepoint, and that situation is the starting point for renovations in that timepoint.

Rationale

Inputs and calculations

Variables in the building model
Variable Measure Indices Missing data
stockBuildings (case-specific data from the user) e.g. Building stock in Helsinki or Building stock in Kuopio Amount of building stock (typically in floor-m2) at given timepoints. Required indices: Time (time the building was built. If not known, present year can be used for all buildings.) Typical indices: City_area, Building (building type) You must give either stockBuildings, heatingShares, and efficiencyShares or changeBuildings or both. For missing data, use 0.
heatingShares (case-specific data from the user) Fractions of heating types. Should sum up to 1 within each group defined by optional indices. Required indices: Heating. Typical indices: Time, Building If no data, use 1 as a placeholder.
efficiencyShares (case-specific data from the user) Fraction of energy efficiency types. Should sum up to 1 for each group defined by other indices. Required indices: Efficiency. Typical indices: Time, Building. If no data, use 1 as default.
changeBuildings (case-specific data from the user) Construction or demolition rate as floor-m2 at given timepoints. Required indices: Obsyear, Time, Efficiency, Heating. If both stockBuildings and changeBuildings are used, changeBuildings should have all indices in stockBuildings, heatingShares, and efficiencyShares. Typical indices: Building, City_area. If the data is only in stockBuildings, use 0 here.
renovationShares (case-specific data from the user) Fraction of renovation types when renovation is done. Should sum to 1 for each group defined by other indices. Required indices: Renovation, Obsyear. Obsyear is the time when the renovation is done If no data, use 1 as default.
renovationRate (case-specific data from user. You can also use fairly generic data from Building stock in Helsinki or Building stock in Kuopio.) Rate of renovation (fraction per time unit). Required indices: Age (the time difference between construction and renovation, i.e. Obsyear - Time for each building). If no data, use 0.
obstime (assessment-specific years of interest) The years to be used in output. The only index Obsyear contains the years to look at; Result is 1. Required indices: Obsyear. Typical indices: other indices are not allowed. -

This code defines the generic building model object called buildings. Other objects needed can be found from case-specific pages, see table above.
