Building envelope improvements with insulation is a common approach, yet decision-making plays an important role in determining the most appropriate envelope retrofit strategy. In this study, main objective is to evaluate and optimize envelope retrofit strategies through a calibrated simulation approach. Based on an energy performance audit and monitoring, an existing building is evaluated on performance levels and improvement potentials with basic energy conservation measures (ECMs). The existing building is monitored for a full year and monitoring data is used in calibrating the simulation model. In order to obtain a better-performing building envelope three retrofit strategies including several ECMs are proposed. Retrofit strategies are simulated through calibrated base-case model, and results are evaluated according to changes in indoor environmental parameters and annual energy consumption measures. The analysis of results indicated that pre-assessed strategies yield close results. Therefore, a more comprehensive evaluation based on different decisive criteria is used in optimization of the final retrofit strategy, with the intention to evaluate the effect of individual ECMs on annual end-use energy consumption and investment. | URI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2012.09.031 http://hdl.handle.net/11147/5211 |
