Energy Retrofit. A Case Study—Santi Romano Dormitory on the Palermo University

Electrical and thermal consumption related to buildings, whether civil, commercial, public, or of any other kind, is very much in focus today. With today’s targets for energy savings, reduction consumption, environmental impact, it necessary carry out retrofits modernize installations their management. The realization an effective improvement requires a careful analysis the case study because each category building has different requirements such as load profiles needs. This was carried by studying electrical profiles. A good initial audit can provide retrofit solutions capable achieving emission climate-changing gases into atmosphere. study, Department Engineering Palermo, showed how possible perform system student dormitory at University Palermo. paper presented programming series interlinked calculations Microsoft Excel. In order quantify savings structure under examination, enter some input data, thanks which all formulas implemented calculation software were automatically completed. makes with interventions on envelope installations. desire program automated modifying only data intended replicate buildings same peculiarities. this way, verify hypotheses would be useful upgrade old public administration buildings. analyzed 65% 33% could saved replacing generation systems, installing co-generator, windows, lamps LED ones.
