  • Retrofitting Norwegian residential buildings

    Open AccessLola S A Rousseau, Sara Amini et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2026

    The retrofit of buildings is essential to reduce their energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this study, the resource use and energy performance of various retrofit options for Norway’s residential buildings up to 2050 were quantified. A comprehensive analysis of the stock, encompassing all municipalities and using an archetype-based dynamic stock model, was developed. It was estimated that about 80% of Norway’s bui…

  • Future resource efficiency scenarios for the Western Asian and Northern African residential buildings

    Open AccessŞahin Akın, Fabio Carrer et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    This study examines resource efficiency in residential buildings across Western Asia and Northern Africa (WN). The research addresses the pressing challenge of the residential sector's greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) by evaluating strategies to enhance energy and material efficiency. The primary research question investigates how different scenarios can reduce operational energy use, material consumption, and related GHGE in residential buildings…

  • Western Asian and Northern African residential building stocks

    Open AccessŞahin Akın, Aida Eghbali et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2025References: 1

    Buildings are significant consumers of natural and manufactured resources, especially in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of residential building stocks in 19 countries across these Western Asia and Northern Africa (WANA), utilizing an archetype-based, bottom-up, stock-modeling approach. By integrating life-cycle assessment (LCA) with building energy models via BuildME, the study estimates the mater…

  • Modelling Nigerian residential dwellings

    Open AccessChibuikem Chrysogonus Nwagwu, Şahin Akın et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2024

    Nigeria’s residential buildings consume a substantial amount of the country’s energy, so achieving a net-zero building sector with a rapidly growing population is a key challenge. To bridge the gap in research at a national level and support Nigeria’s commitment to an unconditional 20% reduction in emissions by 2030, this study develops bottom-up archetype models of different residential building typologies to estimate the energy and material use…
