“…Level-1 of energy retrofit: This basic retrofit involves mostly low-cost energy efficiency measures such as replacement of lighting fixtures with LED units and weatherization of building shells to reduce air infiltration. As detailed in several other studies, the estimated average savings from a Level-1 retrofit program are about 8% for all building types based on the simulation analysis carried out for several Arab countries as well as case studies reported for residential, commercial, and governmental buildings [2,10,[42][43][44][45][46][56][57][58]. cooling system replacement, and installation of automated control systems.…”

“…cooling system replacement, and installation of automated control systems. While deep retrofits are typically costly, they can provide significant energy use savings exceeding 50% as noted in several reports and as noted for the optimal analysis conducted for the Arab region [2,10,[42][43][44][45][46].…”

“…Studies on energy efficiency are quite compelling among scholars nowadays. Among others are Krarti et al who found that a large-scale energy efficiency program on buildings in Qatar may reduce about 11 000 GWh per y of the energy consumption [8]. Moreover, if the energy efficiency program is applied for more than 10 y, it can be potentially reducing more than 5.4 Mt of carbon emissions annually and may creates over 4 000 jobs yearly.…”
