Jörg Schlenger, Dortmund University of Technology Abstract This dissertation analyses the total primary energy demand of office buildings in 25 European locations and the impact of the respective climatic conditions by the means of building simulation. An overview of existing climate classification systems and methodologies for comparison of buildings in different locations is followed by the definition of a representative office building model. Besides buildings with typical in-sulation levels per country, buildings with optimised façades in terms of insulation level and window proportion have also been analysed. Correlations between the lo-cation’s degree of latitude, the climatic conditions and the energy demand for heat-ing, cooling, ventilation and lighting have been evaluated.
