Title: Estimating the Energy Demand of the Residential Real Estate Stock in Hungary Based on Energy Performance Certificate Data

Abstract: In our study, estimates are made for the distribution of the Hungarian residential real
estate stock in 2020 by energy characteristics. In our calculations, which are novel in
Hungary, a new database has been compiled by combining the energy certificates
issued since 2016, the 2016 Microcensus and the housing construction statistics
of the HCSO. Energy performance certificate data are assigned to the dwellings
included in the Microcensus and to the 68,000 new dwellings built in the period
since then. A statistical relationship is established between the characteristics and
the energy demand of dwellings, which is then extrapolated to the stock as a whole.
This is processed to present the estimated calculated energy consumption per square
metre of the Hungarian residential real estate stock and the characteristics of the
estimate by area and real estate type. Our results can support sustainable mortgage
lending in the financial system.
