Emergy Framework, from Building Stock Model to Retrofit Model: A Study in Mexico’s City Public Office Buildings

摘要

This chapter addresses a gap in the current literature by focusing on retrofit strategies for existing buildings, particularly on an urban scale, located in a temperate weather context. The proposed methodology consists of three steps (Synthetic Stock Generation, Building Stock Dynamics, and Building Stock Assessment) to create an “Archetype Building Information” framework grounded in an Emergy approach. Preliminary findings reveal consistent energy demand behavior among buildings of similar typologies, forming the basis for defining shared patterns. The difference ratio between baseline and recommended energy demands by ASHRAE, while variable, follows a distinct trend across building types. The research aims to develop a comprehensive Building Retrofit Model tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities in Mexico City’s urban context.
