20.500.12556/RUL-113742 The effect of population aging on heating energy demand on national level a case study of Slovenia Vpliv staranja prebivalstva na potrebe po toploti na nacionalni ravni študija primera Slovenije Residential energy demands are expected to change significantly in the future with increasing electrification, energy efficiency, and improved comfort as well as climate change. While many studies have been performed into how the aforementioned influential factors could affect the energy needs of the forthcoming generations, far less are present for how population aging affects the future heating demand. The latter is particularly relevant for Europe and Slovenia as declining fertility rates and lengthening life spans give rise to the increasing ratio of the elderly. In this paper, the future residential space and water heating energy demands of the aging society in Slovenia, using a sample of geographically dispersed nursing homes as a proxy, are estimated. The results are compared against the latest EU reference scenario until 2050, whereby the adjusted estimates differ by up to 9.6 %. Thus, the study highlights the need for energy policy to be further refined and redefined to link the energy performance requirements of buildings to specific consumption characteristics of the elderly. energy forecasting residential energy demand space heating domestic hot water ageing society base temperature napovedovanje rabe energije raba energije v gospodinjstvih ogrevanje prostorov sanitarna topla voda staranje družbe bazna temperatura true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2020-01-30 08:44:59 2020-01-30 08:45:02 2022-08-26 03:47:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 Str. 701-708 no. 11/12 Vol. 65 Nov./Dec. 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 620.9:697:628.1(045) 0039-2480 10.5545/sv-jme.2019.6394 16944923 762116 RAZ_Lampret_Ziga_2019.pdf RAZ_Lampret_Ziga_2019.pdf 1 2FFE42A543B10B4F35B0C5674137B331 f565306a03eac53bb06db0e1e2dc47efec09f5b8451947730d74cc24894a594f 265d5f93-a1b8-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=125847 https://www.sv-jme.eu/sl/article/the-effect-of-population-ageing-on-heating-energy-demand-on-national-level-a-case-study-of-slovenia/ 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=125846 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
