Abstract
As part of a participatory and pluralist approach towards the implementation of future energy policy, this study aims to address the lack of studies on urban-scale energy renovation in Morocco. We aim to provide a methodological framework to support decision-making processes related to energy-conscious urban planning strategies. The proposed methodological framework is based on a bottom-up approach in a multi-scale GIS environment. It combines physical and statistical methods to split up the building stock market into different archetypes. Simulating a dozen archetypes instead of thousands of buildings presents a good compromise of accuracy and low cost. The results of this simulation can subsequently be generalized to the entirety of the rest of the buildings. The town of M’diq in Northern Morocco is the case study for the present article, and it has shown that the implementation of large scale energy renovation can achieve an energy saving up to 52.72% in the standard of Thermal Building Regulations in Morocco (RTCM) scenario.
