Local government influence on energy conservation ambitions in existing housing sites—Plucking the low-hanging fruit?
Greater energy efficiency can be achieved in existing dwellings thanks to longer lifecycles, slow replacement rates, and technical innovations. Many such dwellings are located in dense urban neighbourhoods, where urban renewal projects are undertaken. Local government can encourage the setting of ambitious goals as a stepping stone to realizing energy efficiency goals that achieve high levels o...
متن کاملHousing Allocation: Existing Tenants and Multiple-occupancy
Housing allocation problems deal with assigning indivisible objects (houses) to agents who have preferences over these objects. We examine the housing allocation problem with existing tenants, then with both new and existing tenants. In both cases, we present and evaluate an algorithm for assigning houses. We then consider a version of the housing allocation problem where agents are grouped int...
متن کاملdevelopment of sustainable retrofitting material for energy conservation of existing buildings
energy conservation in buildings plays a vital role for sustainable development of societies and nations. although, newer buildings in developing nations are being constructed using energy conservation approach, existing buildings have higher energy demand to meet the desired comfort. excessive energy demand for cooling the built environment is a major problem over most of the arid climatic zon...
متن کاملThe public health benefits of insulation retrofits in existing housing in the United States
BACKGROUND Methodological limitations make it difficult to quantify the public health benefits of energy efficiency programs. To address this issue, we developed a risk-based model to estimate the health benefits associated with marginal energy usage reductions and applied the model to a hypothetical case study of insulation retrofits in single-family homes in the United States. METHODS We mo...
متن کاملApplicability of Overhangs for Energy Saving in Existing High-Rise Housing in Different Climates
Upgrading the thermal performance of building envelope of existing residential buildings is an effective way to reduce heat gain or heat loss. Overhang device is a common solution for building envelope improvement as it can cut down solar heat gain and thereby can reduce the energy used for space cooling in summer time. Despite that, overhang can increase the demand for indoor heating in winter...
