Exploring the impact of Demand-Response actions on thermal comfort and energy costs in the residential sector in Greece

News

Assoc. Professor Dr. Alexandros Flamos, Director of TEESlab, participated in the 14th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES14) in Dubrovnik, presenting preliminary modeling outcomes on the evaluation of the performance of Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs), towards the decarbonization of the building sector in Greece.

More particularly, Prof. Flamos, considering that the building stock in Greece is in need of immediate renovations, highlighted the importance of assessing the performance of conventional and innovative (based on Demand-Response actions) EEMs focusing on tackling energy poverty, in terms of their long-term energy savings, sustainability, risk, and return of investment. Such an assessment would focus on quantifying the potential benefits of each measure at a disaggregated (households-neighborhood) level, providing utilities and policymakers with valuable and actionable insights. The work presented by Prof. Flamos was based on simulation results from the Dynamic high-Resolution dEmand-sidE Management (DREEM) model, which is part of the TEESlab Modeling (TEEM) suite.
