Scope

Purpose

What are the effects of different building policies on dampness and asthma prevalence in Europe?

Boundaries etc.

Boundaries, scenarios, intended users, and participants are the same as in the Mega case study.

R code for detailed analysis

  • The code calculates the difference in number of asthmas due to dampness, between policies being successful or not and compared to the initial year of 2010.
asthma <- op_baseGetData("opasnet_base", "Op_en4723")
array <- DataframeToArray(asthma)
final <- apply(array, c(2,3,4,6), mean, na.rm=TRUE)
final <- apply(final, c(2,3,4), sum, na.rm=TRUE)
final1 <- apply(final, c(1,2), mean, na.rm=TRUE)
finaldf1 <- as.data.frame(as.table(final1))
finaldf1 <- finaldf1[finaldf1[,"Freq"]!=0,]
barplot(finaldf1[,"Freq"], legend.text=c("2010", "2020 Policy", "2020 BAU", "2030 Policy", "2030 BAU", "2050 Policy", "2050 BAU", 
"2050 Biomass", "2050 Insulation", "2050 Renovation"))
#temp <- array(NA, dim = c(4,3,3), dimnames = list(dimnames(final)[[1]][c(1,3:5)],dimnames(final)[[2]][2:4],dimnames(final)[[3]] ))
#for (i in 1:4) {temp[i,1,] <- final[,2,]-final[,2,]}
#final <- final[,]-final[rep(1,4),]
#barplot(final, beside=TRUE, legend.text=c("2010","2020","2030","2050"))
