Simulating Performance Risk for Lighting Retrofit Decisions
In building retrofit projects, dynamic simulations are performed to simulate building performance. Uncertainty may negatively affect model calibration and predicted lighting energy savings, which increases the chance of default on performance-based contracts. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to develop a simulation-based method that can analyze lighting performance risk in lighting retrofit ...
متن کاملEnergy savings horizons for the retrofit of chemical processes. Application to crude fractionation units1
This paper focuses on presenting a technique to calculate energy retrofit horizons in process plants. In particular, it focuses on crude fractionation units. The methodology takes advantage of two facts: (a) Pinch-type calculations can be performed using operator type representations and (b) Processes like crude fractionation offer large flexibility in the operating/design parameters. This pape...
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 کاملUncertainty Analysis in Estimating Building Energy Retrofit Savings in the LoanSTAR Program
A crucial requirement to promote and sustain energy conservation measures in buildings is the ability to perform careful and reliable appraisals of exactly how much energy has been saved. This paper briefly describes the general issues involved and then focuses on commercial buildings where retrofits are made in order to reduce energy consumption in hot water, chilled water and in electricity c...
متن کاملA security retrofit of VMl370
The VM/370 Security Retrofit Program is a continuing research and development initiative, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), with additional funding provided by the Canadian Department of N ational Defense. The program's primary goal is the security retrofit of a popular commercial operating system, VM/370. 1 Two approaches were originally planned: (1) the design o...
