Méthodologie d'évaluation énergétique des quartiers périurbains. Perspectives pour le renouvellement périurbain wallon. ; A method to evaluate the energy consumption of suburban neighbourhoods. Prospects for a sustainable suburban renewal in Wallonia.

The process of urban sprawl, which commonly describes physically expanding urban areas, is a major issue for sustainable development. Urban sprawl is known to represent a significant contribution to the overall energy consumption of a territory for energy needs in buildings and for transportation. In this context, the thesis focuses on the energy assessment of existing suburban neighborhoods. The assessment includes two parts: (1) a computational approach combining dynamic simulation tools and a database of building typologies to determine the energy consumed in heating and (2) an empirical ap...
