Abstract:
The existing performance gap between the design and the real energy consumption of a building could have three main origins: the occupants’ behaviour, the performance of the energy systems and the performance of the building envelope. Through the estimation of the in-use Heat Loss Coefficient (HLC), it is possible to characterise the building’s envelope energy performance under occupied conditions. In this research, the estimation of the HLC of two individual residential buildings located in Gainsborough and Loughborough (UK) was carried out using an average method. This average method was developed and successfully tested in previous research for an occupied four-story office building with very different characteristics to individual residential buildings. Furthermore, one of the analysed residential buildings is a new, well-insulated building, while the other represents the old, poorly insulated semidetached residential building typology. Thus, the monitored data provided were filtered in order to apply the abovementioned average method. Even without fulfilling all the average method requirements for these two residential buildings, the method provides reliable HLC values for both residential buildings. For the house in Gainsborough, the best estimated HLC value was 60.2 W/K, while the best approach for Loughborough was 366.6 W/K. Thus, despite the uncertainty sources found during the analysis, the method seems promising for its application to residential buildings.

Abstract:
Purpose Sustainable retrofitting of aged buildings plays a significant role in reducing energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to assess the performance and effectiveness of energy retrofit measures (ERMs) for an archetype of aged multi-storey residential buildings. Design/methodology/approach The methodology consists of three parts, namely, a desktop study including the selection of a case-study building and identification of ERM options for the building; development of a computer model to simulate the building’s energy use in the baseline scenario and different scenarios of ERMs; and evaluation of the ERMs based on energy-saving rate. Findings Among the 13 ERMs tested, lighting-related ERMs were found to be optimal measures while window fin is the least suitable option in terms of energy saving. Based on the research findings, a two-level retrofitting framework was developed for aged multi-storey buildings. Research limitations/implications Future studies may take a similar approach of this study to develop retrofitting frameworks for other types of buildings, and further research paper can be extended to study retrofitting for buildings in a district or a region. Practical implications The findings of this study can serve as a reference for building owners to select effective ERMs for aged multi-storey buildings, which invariably exist in developed cities. Originality/value This study presents a pioneering work where an energy model and a building archetype were used to analyze the energy savings of a variety of ERMs that are applicable to aged multi-storey buildings.

Abstract:
Building air tightness increased quickly in recent years as nearly zero energy buildings concept gradually drawn more attentions from the industry. Ventilation system plays an important role for the indoor air quality control in residential buildings with good air tightness. The energy consumption of the ventilation system is a significant part of the overall energy consumption of low energy residential building. The influence of the building air tightness on the energy consumption of ventilation system was not addressed sufficiently in previous studies. This paper analyses the quantitative relations between building air tightness, energy recovery efficiency and ventilation system control strategy. A mathematical model of the heating and cooling energy consumption in residential buildings is proposed, which takes building air tightness, energy recovery efficiency and control strategy of ventilation system as major input parameters. Equivalent COP of ventilation energy recovery system is proposed as an energy efficiency index of the ventilation system. It can be used as a criterion to decide the optimal design parameters of nearly zero residential buildings in different climate conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract The residential-building sector in India consumes >25% of the total electricity and is the third-largest consumer of electricity; consumption increased by 26% between 2014 and 2017. India has introduced a star-labelling programme for residential buildings that is applicable for all single- and multiple-dwelling units in the country for residential purposes. The Energy Performance Index (EPI) of a building (annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours per square metre of the building) is taken as an indicator for awarding the star label for residential buildings. For gauging the EPI status of existing buildings, the electricity consumption of residential buildings (in kWh/m2/year) is established through a case study of the residential society. Two years of electricity bills are collected for an Indian residential society located in Palam, Delhi, analysed and benchmarked with the Indian residential star-labelling programme. A wide EPI gap is observed for existing buildings for five-star energy labels. Based on existing electricity tariffs, the energy consumption of residential consumers and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)’s proposed building ENERGY STAR labelling, a grid-integrated rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system is considered for achieving a higher star label. This research study establishes the potential of grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems for residential buildings in Indian cities through a case study of Delhi. Techno-economic analysis of a grid-integrated 3-kWp rooftop solar PV plant is analysed by using RETScreen software. The study establishes that an additional two stars can be achieved by existing buildings by using a grid-integrated rooftop solar PV plant. Payback for retrofit of a 3-kWp rooftop solar PV plant for Indian cites varies from 3 to 7 years. A case study in Delhi, India establishes the potential of grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems for residential buildings. Techno-economic analysis of grid integrated, 3 kWp rooftop solar systems estimates a payback period from 3 to 7 years.

Abstract:
Owing to stricter building energy requirements, future buildings will be characterized by low base loads and occasional high peaks. However, future building areas will still contain existing and historical buildings with high energy demand. Meanwhile, there is a requirement that future building areas should obtain energy from renewable energy sources, while existing buildings need to be transited to renewables. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop an approach for modelling energy pathways for future Norwegian residential building areas by analyzing different energy supply systems. Several calculation methods were combined: building simulation, energy supply technology simulation, heat demand aggregation, and data post-processing. The results showed that the energy pathways would be very dependent on CO2-factors for energy sources, and it is hard to predict accurate CO2-factors. An increasing housing stock development would slightly increase the CO2 emissions towards 2050, although the new buildings used much less energy and the existing buildings underwent renovation. A constant housing stock would yield a 22–27% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2050. This showed that implementing stricter building codes had a lower impact on the total CO2 emissions than CO2-factors and energy technologies. The focus should lie on energy supply systems.

Abstract:
Nowadays, energy consumption in buildings is one of the fundamental drivers to control greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. In fact, the air quality of urban environments can cause two main phenomena in metropolitan areas: urban heat island and climate changes. The aim of this work is to showcase how different building variables can impact the residential building’s space heating and cooling energy consumption. Buildings energy-related variables can be fundamental viewpoints to improve the energy performance of neighborhoods, especially in future urban planning. This work examines four neighborhoods in the city of Turin (IT): Arquata, Crocetta, Sacchi, and Olympic Village characterized by different morphologies and building typologies. In each neighborhood, residential building was grouped according to orientations and construction periods. A sensitivity analysis was applied by analysing six building variables: infiltration rate, window-to-wall ratio, and windows, walls, roofs, and floor thermal transmittances. The energy consumption for space heating and cooling of residential buildings and local climate conditions were investigated using CitySim Pro tool and ENVI-met. The challenge of this work is to identify the building variables that most influence energy consumption and to understand how to promote high-energy efficiency neighborhoods: the goal is to identify the “ideal” urban form with low consumption and good comfort conditions in outdoor urban environments. The results of this work show a significant connection between the energy consumption and the six analyzed building variables; however, this relationship also depends on the shape and orientation of the neighborhood.

Abstract:
Accurate prediction of buildings’ lifecycle energy consumption is a critical part in lifecycle assessment of residential buildings. Longitudinal variations in building conditions, weather conditions and building's service life can cause significant deviation of the prediction from the real lifecycle energy consumption. The objective is to improve the accuracy of lifecycle energy consumption prediction by properly modelling the longitudinal variations in residential energy consumption model using Markov chain based stochastic approach. A stochastic Markov model considering longitudinal uncertainties in building condition, degree days, and service life is developed: 1) Building's service life is estimated through Markov deterioration curve derived from actual building condition data; 2) Neural Network is used to project periodic energy consumption distribution for each joint energy state of building condition and temperature state; 3) Lifecycle energy consumption is aggregated based on Markov process and the state probability. A case study on predicting lifecycle energy consumption of a residential building is presented using the proposed model and the result is compared to that of a traditional deterministic model and three years’ measured annual energy consumptions. It shows that the former model generates much narrower distribution than the latter model when compared to the measured data, which indicates improved result.

Abstract:
The paper is oriented on searching for possibilities, which would approach the existing residential buildings to zero energy buildings. Existing residential buildings must remain competitive in the real estate market. Therefore, this paper is focused on progressive solutions, which application will significantly contribute to the approach towards zero energy balance. I have done my research on a concrete residential building in Bratislava. Scientifically I analyze the individual phases of improvement of this residential building. Firstly, I calculate the annual energy balance for individual phases, then I evaluate them. The basic improvement phases of energy balance of concrete residential building: insulation, regulation of heating system, application of heat pumps, application of solar collectors and photovoltaic modules. The scientific outputs are presented by well arranged graphs. Each improvement phase is analyzed in detail with introduced risks and contribution for energy balance. I will point out the problem of incorrect architectural design from the energy point of view, which remains a serious obstacle for further possible improvements with modern technological systems. By this research, I want to point out new possibilities for existing residential buildings.

Buildings are one of the world's largest consumers of energy, yet measures to reduce energy consumption are often ignored during the building design process. In developing countries, enormous numbers of new residential buildings are being constructed each year, and many of these buildings perform very poorly in terms of energy efficiency. One of the major barriers to better building designs is the lack of tools to aid architects during the preliminary design stages. In order to address the need for feedback about building energy use early in the design process, a model was developed and implemented as a software design tool using the C++ programming language. The new program requires a limited amount of input from the user and runs simulations to predict heating and cooling loads for residential buildings. The user interface was created with the architect in mind, and it results in direct graphical comparisons of the energy requirements for different building designs. The simulations run hour by hour for the entire year using measured weather data. They typically complete in less than two seconds, allowing for very fast comparisons of different scenarios. A set of simulations was run to perform a comparison between the new program and an existing tool called Energy-10. Overall, the loads predicted by the two programs were in good agreement.

Abstract:
The largest contributing factor for human impact on global warming is the emission of greenhouse gasses, of which carbon dioxide (CO­2) has the greatest consequences for the climate. Energy use in buildings is closely related to CO2 emissions from electricity and heat generation. An improvement of the energy efficiency of buildings would therefore have great impact on slowing down climate change and could also be economically beneficial for facility owners. In its Europe 2020 Strategy, the European Union has set itself three priorities for the year 2020; Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive growth, where sustainability addresses the issues of energy efficiency. The target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% compared to 1990 levels; increase the share of renewable energy sources in our final energy consumption to 20%; and a 20% increase in energy efficiency. To promote energy-saving, cost-effective building solutions and attain a higher energy efficiency the European Union has created the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), which both have been interpreted and incorporated into national legislation by the different member states of the EU. These directives and Swedish interpretations thereof are studied to investigate what impact they have on buildings in Sweden. Next, an Energy Performance Audit of the residential building Landsfogden 6 in the south of Stockholm was carried out. The results of that is that the energy performance of the building is 126 kWh/m2, which was surprising, given the recently executed substantial renovations, aiming at a 50% reduction in energy need. The only technical building system that has not been updated to a modern standard is the district heating substation. The system is old and oversized, both heat exchangers and pumps and valves, and the analysis shows that there is much to gain by installing a new substation. Fitted with an online control system and correctly adjusted, the energy use could decrease by 110 to 170 MWh/year, with the investment paid back in 2,5 years. Landsfogden 6 has been impacted by the Energy efficiency directive and the Energy performance of buildings directive as the decisions leading up to the renovations were directly connected first to the 20/20 goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy, but then decided upon aiming for the (possibly coming) Swedish goal for 2050, 50% higher energy efficiency.
Den största bidragande orsaken till människans påverkan på den globala uppvärmningen är utsläppen av växthusgaser, varav koldioxid (CO2) har de största konsekvenserna för klimatet. Energianvändningen i byggnader är nära sammankopplat med CO2-utsläpp från el- och värmeproduktion. En förbättring av byggnaders energieffektivitet skulle därför få stort genomslag på bromsningen av klimatförändringarna och kuinde också vara ekonomiskt fördelaktigt för fastighetsägare. I sin tillväxtstrategi, Europa 2020, har den Europeiska unionen satt upp tre prioriteringar inför år 2020; Smart, Hållbar och Inkluderande tillväxt, där hållbarhet riktar in sig på energieffektivitetsfrågor. Målet är att reducera utsläppen av växthusgaser med minst 20% jämfört med 1990 års nivåer; öka andelen förnyelsebara energikällor för energianvändningen hos slutanvändare till 20%; samt en 20-procentig ökning i energieffektivitet. För att verka för energibesparande, kostnadseffektiva byggkonstruktioner och nå en högre enrgieffektivitet, har den Europeiska Unionen skapat direktiv om byggnaders energiprestanda och om energieffektivitet, vilka båda har tolkats och införlivats med nationell lagstiftning av de olika medlemsstaterna i EU. Dessa direktiv och de svenska tolkninigarna därav har studerats för att utreda vilken påverkan de har på byggnader i Sverige. Därnäst gjordes en energikartläggning av flerbostadshuset Landsfogden 6 i södra Stockholm. Resultatet av den var att byggnadens energiprestanda är 126 kWh/m2, vilket var överraskande i ljuset av den nyligen utförda väldigt omfattande renoveringen, med sikte på en 50-procentig sänkning av energibehovet. Det enda systemet som inte uppdaterats till modern standard är fjärrvärmeundercentralen. Den är gammal och överdimensionerad, både vad gäller värmeväxlare samt pumpar och ventiler och analysen visar att det finns mycket att vinna på att installera en ny undercentral. Utrustad med ett uppkopplat styrsystem och korrekt injusterat, skulle energianvändningen kunna sjunka med 110 till 170 MWh/år och investeringen vara återbetald på två år. Landsfogden 6 har på verkats av energieffektiviseringsdirektivet och energiprestandadirektivet på så sätt att de beslut som togs för renoveringarna var direkt kopplade först till 20/20-målen från Europa 2020-strategin, men att man sedan bestämde sig för att sikta på de (troligen kommande) svenska målen inför 2050, med 50% bättre energieffektivitet.

Abstract:
The energy demand in the oil- dependent Gulf countries in general and in Saudi Arabia in particular has been increasing sharply in the last decades as a result of the diversification plans. Tall building construction, associated with many environmental and ecological challenges, played an essential role in these plans, as a mean to attract new economies based on global placemaking and international tourism. The significant use of air conditioning to cool indoor spaces, particularly in residential buildings, accounts for more than half of all energy consumption in the country, and despite governmental efforts, the scattered conservation efforts have been largely ineffective due to factors such as lack of awareness and information, in addition to the limitation of the local energy efficiency building regulations. This research aimed to find and prioritise building envelope design solutions that can reduce high energy consumption and cooling loads while maintaining indoor environment for residential tall buildings in Saudi Arabia. In order to achieve that, a hypothesis of integrating the thermal properties and design parameters of the building envelope as a design strategy for tall buildings envelope were proposed, and to test it, a mixed method approach was followed including literature review, data collection, dynamic building simulations and parametric analysis. The main findings emphasised how combining both the thermal properties and design parameters of the building envelope can be an effective way to achieve energy efficiency in residential tall buildings in the hot climate of Jeddah. Especially in relation to solar heat gains, the highest contributor to cooling loads in this building type. The findings highlighted that while the thermal properties of the wall type can reduce up to 10% of the cooling loads, applying external shading devices can achieve a reduction of up to 30% in solar gains. Moreover, effective consideration of building orientation can significantly reduce cooling loads by 25% and solar gains by 60% for the perimeter zones. Based on this, a set of guidelines that incorporate a comparative tool were introduced to help designers to determine the thermal performance and energy use of a typical residential tall building in the early stages of the building’s design. Which also aim to enhance the effectiveness of the local building codes and energy efficiency regulations in relation to this building type.

Abstract:
As a result of increasing population and buildings construction in Saudi Arabia, the demand for electricity is growing rapidly. There should be a greater focus on build-ings in the kingdom and several methods should be applied in order to reduce en-ergy consumption and create a lower carbon economy as residential buildings ac-count for about 70 percent of the total consumption. Saudi Arabia therefore ur-gently needs to develop residential buildings which use less energy and are more environmentally-friendly. This study investigates the recent situation of Saudi residential buildings in terms of energy and building materials, using case studies. The main aim of this study is to identify suitable strategies and propose a number of recommendations that are useful in developing residential buildings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This paper shows the importance of selecting the right, locally available, construc-tion materials for the external wall and thermal insulation in reducing energy con-sumption for the cooling load, by 59% after using the most appropriate construction materials for Saudi climate. Several methods were used in this research including IES energy simulation software in order to compare the most common external walls in the kingdom in terms of energy consumption and cooling load. Then, add-ing and selecting the right place for 0.50 m of polyurethane thermal insulation to the selected external wall to achieve the maximum reduction of cooling load. It uses the example of a typical Saudi house design provided by the Saudi ministry of housing in three main cities in the kingdom: Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam. Fur-thermore, the paper discusses the challenges facing the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in recent years and those of the future, such as a lack of the awareness amongst the Saudi population, and a lack of building standards and regulations.

Abstract:

The electricity market is in need of a method to accurately predict how much peak load is removable by directly controlling residential thermostats. Utilities have been experimenting with residential demand response programs for the last decade, but inconsistent forecasting is preventing them from becoming a dependent electricity grid management tool. This dissertation documents the use of building energy models to forecast both general residential energy consumption and removable air conditioning loads.

In the models, complex buildings are represented as simple grey-box systems where the sensible energy of the entire indoor environment is balanced with the flow of energy through the envelope. When internet-connected thermostat and local weather data are inputs, twelve coefficients representing building parameters are used to non-dimensionalize the heat transfer equations governing this system. The model's performance was tested using 559 thermostats from 83 zip codes nationwide during both heating and cooling seasons. For this set, the average RMS error between the modeled and measured indoor air temperature was 0.44°C and the average daily ON time prediction was 1.9% higher than the data. When combined with smart power meter data from 250 homes in Houston, TX in the summer of 2012 these models outperformed the best traditional methods by 3.4 and 28.2% predicting daily and hourly energy consumption with RMS errors of 86 and 163 MWh. The second model that was developed used only smart meter and local weather data to predict loads. It operated by correlating an effective heat transfer metric to past energy data, and even further improvement forecasting loads were observed.

During a demand response trial with Earth Networks and CenterPoint Energy in the summer of 2012, 206 internet-connected thermostats were controlled to reduce peak loads by an average of 1.13 kW. The thermostat building energy models averaged forecasting the load in the 2 hours before, during, and after these demand response tests to within 5.9%. These building energy models were also applied to generate thermostat setpoint schedules that improved the energy efficiency of homes, disaggregate loads for home efficiency scorecards and remote energy audits, and as simulation tools to test schedule changes and hardware upgrades.

Abstract:
Miljöbyggnad is a Swedish system for certifying building in regarding to energy, indoor climate and materials. Energy usage in built environment occupies more than a third of total energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden (SEA, 2008). Among fifteen indicators regulated by Miljöbyggnad, four indicators which consist of specific energy use, thermal climate winter, thermal climate summer and daylight have been analyzed in this report. There has two objectives for the project. The first objective is to make optimized approaches for the building according to baseline simulation model. And the second objective is to make assessment of the optimized model based on Miljöbyggnad environmental certification. As a conclusion, the implemented approaches helped to improve indoor thermal comfort and decrease demand of operational electricity for lighting. The four analyzed indicator of the optimized model have achieved GOLD level according to criteria regulated by Miljöbyggnad.

Abstract:
This paper describes a four-step method to analyze the utility bills and weather data from multiple residences to target buildings for specific energy conservation retrofits. The method is also useful for focusing energy assessments on the most promising opportunities. The first step of the method is to create a three-parameter changepoint regression model of energy use versus weather for each building and fuel type. The three model parameters represent weather independent energy use, the building heating or cooling coefficient and the building balance-point temperature. The second step is to drive the models using typical TMY2 weather data to determine Normalized Annual Consumption (NAC) for each fuel type. The third step is to create a sliding NAC with each set of 12 sequential months of utility data. The final step is to benchmark the NACs and coefficients of multiple buildings to identify average, best and worst energy performers, and how the performance of each building has changed over time. The method identifies billing errors, normalizes energy use for changing weather, prioritizes sites for specific energy-efficiency retrofits and tracks weather-normalized changes in energy use. The principle differences between this method and previously defined ones are that this method seeks to use inverse modeling proactively to identify energy saving opportunities rather than retroactively to measure energy savings, it tracks changes in building performance using sliding analysis, and it uses comparisons between multiple buildings to extract additional information. This paper describes the method, then demonstrates the method through a case study of about 300 low-income residences. After applying the method, targeted buildings were visited to determine the accuracy of the method at identifying energy efficiency opportunities. The case study shows that over 80% of the targeted buildings presented at least one of the expected problems from each type of retrofit.

Abstract:
The impact of the shape on energy performance for residential buildings has been investigated using a series of simulation analyses. The shape of a building is quantified by its compactness relative to a reference building. In this paper, the performance of a prototypical residential building with various shapes is investigated for selected locations in the US. Various window-to-wall ratios are considered in the analysis. The findings indicate that significant energy can be saved when the shape and the window-to-wall ratio of the building are optimized. A simplified evaluation method is provided to help designers assess the impact of basic building architectural features on the energy performance of residential buildings.

Abstract:
This paper describes the development of the Residential Energy Model (REEM) for Saudi Arabia using an engineering bottom-up approach. The model can assess energy demand for the current residential building stock and the impact of energy efficiency and demand-side management programs. It accounts for the makeup and features of the Kingdom’s existing housing stock using 54 prototypes of residential buildings defined by three building types, three vintages, and six locations representing different climatic zones.
