This paper discusses the problem of validation of a proposed uniform European building database. It proposes a process for validation using a set of so-called "test-bed" sites in Europe in which detailed local building-bybuilding surveys have been made in the recent past in a variety of projects. It explains how the data from these studies has been harmonised; proposes an appropriate building classification system for validation; and proposes a set of validation metrics which can be used to assess the quality of the data in the uniform database against the data from the test-bed sites, and to estimate the uncertainties which can be assigned to the database. An example of validation against an existing approximate Europe-wide inventory is given.

Abstract
This paper discusses the problem of validation of a proposed uniform European building database. It proposes a process for validation using a set of so-called "test-bed" sites in Europe in which detailed local building-bybuilding surveys have been made in the recent past in a variety of projects. It explains how the data from these studies has been harmonised; proposes an appropriate building classification system for validation; and proposes a set of validation metrics which can be used to assess the quality of the data in the uniform database against the data from the test-bed sites, and to estimate the uncertainties which can be assigned to the database. An example of validation against an existing approximate Europe-wide inventory is given.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
