PhD position: Energy economic risk assessment of building retrofits through modelling and data analysis

We have a new PhD-position open at the Energy Economics Group of TU Wien. Here more information:
Decarbonising the energy demand of buildings is a key objective and requirement for achieving climate neutrality. Still, building retrofit measures such as building insulation or heating system replacement are subject to technical and financial uncertainty, e.g. regarding expected savings, technical implementation, future energy prices and costs of the measures. This position aims to provide new insights on how to disentangle the uncertainty components of building retrofit measures and how to integrate them into the energy economic assessment at the level of individual buildings and building portfolios. This will involve mathematical simulation, optimisation and analysis of metered energy consumption data.
