ABSTRACT:

A summary of the state of the art and the methodological approach, included in the research proposal of an ongoing doctoral thesis, is presented. The thesis focuses on the demand-side management potential associated with the use of the building mass, whose thermal properties enable the adaptation of the operation of heating and cooling systems, while maintaining thermal comfort. This resource can help balance electricity consumption and its variable production from renewable sources. The use of demand-side management could contribute favourably to the transition towards an energy model based on renewable energies. The impact of climate change and the improvement of the energy efficiency of the building stock on the potential of demand-side management are addressed. To this end, a comparative analysis of the current and future potentials of residential buildings in Europe, located in continental and Mediterranean climatic zones, is planned by applying a combination of experimental and predictive methods.
