“…As reported in [76], despite the efforts made by some states to develop energy policies to support RES development and fuel diversity by passing renewable portfolio standards, California and some others have decided to use FIT because of the benefits it presented to countries such as Germany. However, FITs are provided alongside other support mechanisms, for example, in addition to federal tax credits, the state government of Colorado gave financial incentives for generation and deployment of solar power [77].…”

“…RETScreen was developed to evaluate energy production, life-cycle costs, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of various types of renewable energy systems [32][33][34][35][36]. In RETScreen, the performance of different types of renewable energy sources, including wind power [37,38], hydro power [39,40], PV [41][42][43], combined heat and power (CHP) [35], bio energy [44,45], solar heating [33,[46][47][48], and geothermal heating and cooling [49], can be evaluated. RETScreen allows users to compare the economic performance of conventional systems and RES alternative systems for optimal design.…”

Renewable energy systems (RES) in buildings should be designed carefully, not only because of the need for an optimal design, but also to comply with related laws. Therefore, the design of RES in the buildings requires close collaboration between architects and engineers from the beginning of the design process. To support such collaboration, this study proposes a simplified design method for RES in buildings during the early design stage. By using the proposed design method, design alternatives that meet the required energy standards as suggested by law are first generated. Further designs are made to evaluate the performance and cost of the design alternatives and to find the optimal types of RES for the building. The study also uses a case study to verify the applicability of the design method to the early design stage. Although the performance and cost of the different design alternatives are similar, the implementation of each type of RES in each design alternative is different. Nonetheless, by analyzing performance patterns and the cost ratio of each type of RES in each design alternative, the study allows the most suitable type of RES to be chosen for the building.
