Abstract

The residential sector is responsible for the consumption of 46% of the building’s total primary energy consumption in Jordan. Despite the Jordanian government’s commitment to significantly reduce national emissions by 2050, building Operational Carbon (OC) has been under-researched in the Jordanian context. This study aims to present the development of an archetypes-based housing stock model. The model is then used to evaluate the impact of a series of suggested refurbishment scenarios, to reduce the stock’s operational carbon impact. First, the most prevalent dwellings are identified and categorized into ‘archetypes’ based on the analysis of a housing survey database on Jordanian dwellings. Subsequently, the performance of these archetypes is evaluated in terms of OC. Finally, the improvement scenarios are investigated, and their impact on OC is evaluated.
