Economic evaluation of strategies for energy consuming optimization with Fuzzy logic (The case study on Atisaz, Tehran)

One of the important energy consuming sectors of the country is buildings. In this research, we use the energy audit of the Atisaz complex in Tehran to evaluate the economic benefits of energy saving measures.  We evaluate measures such as: using the automatic damper, replacing the active existing chiller with the solar absorption one, using intelligent boiler-room and replacing the existing lighting system with the LED one.  We evaluate the economic benefits of these measures using FUZZY LOGIC. The results indicate that the economic benefits of energy saving measures exceed their costs will.  Our results confirm that energy saving measures in addition to having a societal value is beneficial for the concerned consumer.  However, some of the energy saving measures have to be undertaken while constructing a new building for them to be economically feasible.
