چکیده
Retrofitting our current building stock is a vital part of meeting emissions reductions targets, using energy in a more efficient way and creating sustainable lifestyles. However, one of the key barriers identified is a lack of tools to support making retrofitting decisions. In this paper, the creation of a transparent and flexible building energy performance simulation model SdSAP is reported to assist building owners and investors to make better informed decisions in building retrofitting activities. A case study is provided to demonstrate the benefits of using the SdSAP tool.

Introduction Retrofitting our current building stock and urban infrastructure is a vital part of meeting emissions reductions targets, using energy and resources in a more efficient way and creating sustainable lifestyles. However, one of the key barriers identified is a lack of appropriate modelling and decision support tools to aid long-term planning for sustainable urban retrofitting. In thi...
متن کاملProposing the simplified model for choosing the method of retrofitting in existing structures against fire risk
Background and objective: According to the necessities in the part 3 of National Building Regulations, design and construction of buildings should be in a way that the structures, according to the type of use, the size and the number of floors, resist long enough to fire, and prevent from destruction of buildings or from spread of fire to adjacent spaces or buildings. For this purpose, it is ne...
متن کاملBenchmark Forecasting in Data Envelopment Analysis for Decision Making Units
Although DEA is a powerful method in evaluating DMUs, it does have some limitations. One of the limitations of this method is the result of the evaluation is based on previously data and the results are not proper for forecasting the future changes. So For this purpose, we design feedback loops for forecasting inputs and outputs through system dynamics and simulation. Then we use DEA model to f...
