Abstract: Abstract Adoption of energy metering systems in apartments with centralized heating plant will lead to greater awareness of the users on energy consumptions. Moreover control systems allow to manage internal temperature according to kind of occupation of the apartment. Starting from the energy consumption of a case study, an apartment block in Bologna, this paper shows the results, based on dynamic simulation, of reduction of energy needs resulting from retrofitting on the building envelope and the effects of thermoregulation systems. Different...
