Risk Assessment and Retrofit of Existing Buildings
The structural risk assessment and evaluation process is broken into the steps of Develop knowledge of as-built conditions, Determine local response characteristics, Create mathematical model, Perform global analysis, Determine acceptability, and Select retrofit procedure/Classify per evaluation procedure and each step discussed. These steps, in general, are major topics of their own and only a...
متن کاملTowards Nearly Zero Energy Buildings in Europe: A Focus on Retrofit in Non-Residential Buildings
Buildings are the focus of European (EU) policies aimed at a sustainable and competitive low-carbon economy by 2020. Reducing energy consumption of existing buildings and achieving nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) are the core of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the recast of the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD). To comply with these requirements, Member States have ...
متن کاملInter-comparison of North American residential energy analysis tools
Energy analysis software is an essential component of efforts to foster increased energy efficiency in buildings. In North America alone, there exist hundreds of weband disk-based building energy analysis tools, serving a diversity of audiences. Some are specialized while others consider the building as a whole. We evaluated 50 web-based residential tools and 15 disk-based tools. While the stat...
متن کاملEnergy Retrofit Strategies for Residential Building Envelopes: An Italian Case Study of an Early-50s Building
During the last few years, the issues of energy efficiency and energy saving have dominated the buildings research field. New constructions are based on efficient design and, because of this, the real challenge is to retrofit existing buildings. Italian standards impose thermal transmittance limits for opaque and transparent surfaces, according to the climatic area. In order to understand build...
متن کاملEffective energy consumption parameters in residential buildings using Building Information Modeling
Building information modeling can help in predicting the energy efficiency in future based on dynamic patterns obtained by visualization of data. The aim of this study was to investigate the effective parameters of energy consumption using BIM technology which can evaluate the buildings energy performance. First, three forms of general states in the building were modeled to evaluate the propose...
