Evaluating the energy impact potential of energy efficiency measures for retrofit applications: A case study with U.S. medium office buildings

The effect of building retrofit measures on CO2 emission reduction – A case study with U.S. medium office buildings

“…The prototype models include 16 commercial building types in 19 climate locations (16 in the U.S. and 3 international locations) for different editions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and IECC. Those models are widely used to investigate energy saving [22][23] [24][25] [26][27], power consumption [28][29], and emission reduction [18]. And the results based on these models are also accepted by the community.…”

“…Based on our previous research [23][22], eight building retrofit measures for U.S. medium office buildings are included in this study, as shown in Table 2. Based on literatures [22], these eight building retrofit measures potentially have significant impacts on the CO2 emissions for medium office buildings across Note: Climate features are obtained from [30]; compositions of electricity generation are obtained from [31].…”

The economic impacts of carbon emission trading scheme on building retrofits: A case study with U.S. medium office buildings

“…Based on the existing research [45][46][47][48] and the sensitivity analysis done in our previous research [46],…”

Transforming a Historic Public Office Building in the Centre of Rome into nZEB: Limits and Potentials

“…In public housing, where current intended uses are not those for which buildings were originally designed, it is necessary to extensively alter the building envelope and the technical building system (TBS). The energy efficiency measures (EEMs) for energy retrofitting of historic buildings in cold and hot climates impact the TBS but especially the opaque envelope [1,2]. A list reference was developed by ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 100-2006 as a guide to address commercial and residential occupancies, though much of the content pertains primarily to commercial and institutional buildings [3].…”
