Constructions	Constructions are defined as a GraphDB. They are stored in a ttl file within the graphdb_access subpackage. It includes: materials, constructions, shading, co2	Original Cesar version (with construction source from BFE_2016). Some constructions and age classed have been modified to agree more with the swiss building stock.	TTL file on Github
Retrofit	Retrofit costs are given in config files in the retrofit package. Emissions values are in the graph ttl file.		Retrofit config on Github
