Abstract

The monitoring phase of the SERVE project (March 2011 to July 2013) collated hourly and sub-hourly measurements of room temperatures and separate space heating durations over two full heating seasons, in up to 67 retrofitted dwellings in Ireland. Individual heating patterns and actual heated-period room temperatures are identified and compared to Ireland's Building Energy Rating (BER) model, the Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure (DEAP), concluding that, following technical upgrades, DEAP over-estimated heating schedules and room temperatures by up to 37% and 1 °C respectively.
