Abstract

This data article refers to the paper "Environmental and economic implications of energy efficiency in new residential buildings: a multi-criteria selection approach" [1]. The reported data deal with energy efficiency measures for residential buildings. This paper provides environmental and economic data related to envelope, appliances, and system measures. The calculations of the embodied energy associated with different building parts are included in the provided data. Available data relate to investment costs, lifetime, payback, net present value, embodied and operational energy, CO₂ emissions, electricity and gas savings derived for each different energy efficiency measure. These data can be used to select the most suitable measures for residential buildings.

Keywords: Building simulation; Embodied energy; Energy efficiency; Technology measures.
