Abstract

Abstract: The paper deals with the investigation of the heating energy consumptions of a sample of residential buildings located in South Italy. A survey for the collection of data concerning energy performance certificates, characteristics of the building envelopes, air-conditioning plants and real consumptions, was carried out. A statistical analysis aimed at the identification of the main parameters affecting the energy requirements was developed using SPSS software. A multiple regression analysis was applied to obtain a forecasting tool that can be used to identify suitable action strategies for the retrofitting of buildings in the considered area.
