UBEM of all residential buildings in Kiel. The colors show a “heat map” denoting which buildings use more energy per year.

One district in the UBEM more closely showing the results. Buildings in red are the highest energy users and should be prioritized for retrofits.

Baseline Energy Consumption

Average energy use intensity: 130 kWh/m2/year
