“…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].…”

“…This situation is different in UAE, where ambient air pollutant levels, especially PMs from dust storms and trace gases from petroleum industries, are very high. Such conditions have led to high usage of air conditioners in UAE (Azar and Al Ansari, 2017;Bekhet et al, 2017;Giusti and Almoosawi, 2017;Krarti and Dubey, 2018). According to Azuma et al (2018), air conditioners are one of the main sources of indoor PMs (mostly PM 0.1 ) as those fine PMs are emitted via medium efficiency particulate air filters (normally used in residential building air conditioners).…”
