Description
The sustainable transformation of the building sector is one of the biggest levers to achieve global climate protection agreements. Therefore, individual decisions regarding building energy systems (BESs) become more important and building stakeholders require tangible options to create an energy-efficient and renewable-energy-based building stock. Our research aims to address this problem and presents a decision support system based on a software engineering approach that follows the guidelines of the design science research methodology and seeks to provide guidance for investment decisions in BESs by highlighting technical, economical, and ecological performance indicators. The computational study evaluates the performance of various scenarios regarding costs and CO2 emissions for different buildings. Our results contribute insights for the design of future BESs and provide building stakeholders with a holistic view to tackle conflicting objectives and to follow a sustainable transformation path.
