Res-IRF4 Overview

Res-IRF4 is an agent-based simulation model for the French residential building sector, focused on space-heating demand, renovation decisions, heating technology choices, and policy impacts.

What the model produces

Typical outputs include:

• annual energy consumption by fuel

• renovation and construction flows

• stock performance distribution over time

• policy cost and effectiveness indicators

• emissions and fuel-poverty related indicators

Repository structure

• project/: model code, configs, input data, analysis scripts

• project/config/: scenario and experiment configurations

• project/input/: policy, technical, energy, and macro input datasets

• project/output/: timestamped run results

• docs/source/: documentation sources

Recommended workflow

1. Follow the Quickstart for a first successful run.

2. Read the Technical documentation for model structure.

3. Use Replication package and Paper replication map for publication workflows.

4. Use API reference when extending internals.
