Overheating vulnerability assessment of energy retrofit actions in a multi-apartment building in Podgorica, Montenegro

The study aimed to assess the overheating vulnerability of an existing multi-apartment building built in 1971 Podgorica, Montenegro. consists 80 apartments and is mostly still its original state. Firstly, was modelled EneryPlus, a parametric performed with jEPlus. energy need for heating cooling simulated using parameters such as thermal insulation level, window properties, external surface solar absorptivity, shading activation set-point, natural ventilation intensity. Moreover, determined four different climate periods, namely current three future periods up end 21 st century under RCP8.5 change scenario. total number models equalled 648 each scenarios, resulting 2,592 cases. After that, score minimax regret method performance indicator. best retrofit action by identifying most favourable combination need. results deliver appropriate actions limit increase risk provide adaptation stock
