Empirical validation.

By 2050, the European council proposed to achieve total decarbonization in buildings. In this way, building energy models are key factors to predict the energy consumption in the design, use and retrofit stages. However, these models may present a relevant gap between predicted and measured energy performance, which should be minimised by cutting uncertainties with real data. Air leakage is one of the main uncertainties and causes of increasing building loads by renovating the indoor air in an uncontrolled way.
