Towards 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 کاملA High Resolution Energy Demand Model for Commercial Buildings
Energy consumption by commercial buildings is a major component of the total energy consumption. In the United States commercial buildings account for about 20 percent of the overall energy consumption, and this figure is expected to increase. In this paper, we model the energy consumption of commercial buildings. By taking into account a variety of factors that affect a building’s energy consu...
متن کاملAn Inexpensive Retrofit Technology for Reducing Peak Power Demand in Small and Medium Commercial Buildings
This article describes a low cost retrofit technology that uses collective control of multiple rooftop air conditioning units to reduce the peak power consumption of small and medium commercial buildings. The proposed control uses a thermal model of the building and air conditioning units to select an operating schedule for the air conditioning units that maintains a temperature set point subje...
متن کاملBenchmarking the energy efficiency of commercial buildings
Benchmarking energy-efficiency is an important tool to promote the efficient use of energy in commercial buildings. Benchmarking models are mostly constructed in a simple benchmark table (percentile table) of energy use, which is normalized with floor area and temperature. This paper describes a benchmarking process for energy efficiency by means of multiple regression analysis, where the relat...
متن کاملExperiences with Sensors for Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings
Buildings are amongst the largest consumers of electrical energy in developed countries. Building efficiency can be improved by adapting building systems to a change in the environment or user context. Appropriate action, however, can only be taken if the building control system has access to reliable real-time data. Sensors providing this data need to be ubiquitous, accurate, have low maintena...
