Evaluation of the Building Stock Thermal Performance under Various Building Code Compliance Scenarios: The Case of Latvia
Energy efficiency in the building stock is a substantial contributor to infrastructure sustainability. In Latvia, the residential buildings’ thermal energy use for space heating accounts for 80% of total energy use. Therefore, reducing thermal energy consumption for space heating needs through the implementation of energy efficiency measures, local codes, and regulations can ultimately lead to cost savings for building owners and stakeholders. This paper presents a study on the effect of Latvian building codes related to energy efficiency on the thermal energy savings in residential, public, and industrial buildings. Three scenarios were developed based on three different protocols with a 10-year forecast analysis. Evaluation of the proposed building code implementation practices and their feasibility in Latvian building stock is discussed for these buildings with regards to thermal energy savings potential.
