Abstract

PurposeThe building sector contributes one-third of the energy-related carbon dioxide globally. Therefore, framing appropriate energy-related policies for the next decades becomes essential in this scenario to realize the global net-zero goals. The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the impact of the widespread adoption of such guidelines in a building community in the context of mixed-mode buildings.Design/methodology/approachThis study decentralizes the theme of improving the energy efficiency of the national building stock in parcels by proposing a community-based hybrid bottom-up modelling approach using urban building energy modelling (UBEM) techniques to analyze the effectiveness of the community-wide implementation of energy conservation guidelines.FindingsIn this study, the UBEM is developed and validated for the 14-building residential community in Mumbai, India, adopting the framework. Employing Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) compliance on the UBEM shows an energy use reduction potential of up to 15%. The results also reveal that ECBC compliance is more advantageous considering the effects of climate change.Originality/valueIn developing countries where the availability of existing building stock information is minimal, the proposed study formulates a holistic framework for developing a detailed UBEM for the residential building stock from scratch. A unique method of assessing the actual cooling load of the developed UBEM is presented. A thorough sensitivity analysis approach to investigate the effect of cooling space fraction on the energy consumption of the building stock is presented, which would assist in choosing the appropriate retrofit strategies. The proposed study's outcomes can significantly transform the formulation and validation of appropriate energy policies.
基于城市建筑能源模型的框架分析社区范围内实施国家节能规范的有效性
目的建筑业排放的二氧化碳占全球能源相关二氧化碳的三分之一。因此,在这种情况下,为未来几十年制定适当的能源相关政策对于实现全球净零目标至关重要。拟议研究的目的是评估混合模式建筑中建筑社区广泛采用此类指南的影响。设计/方法/方法本研究通过提出一种基于社区的自下而上的混合建模方法,利用城市建筑能源建模(UBEM)技术来分析社区范围内实施节能指南的有效性,从而分散了提高国家建筑存量能源效率的主题。发现在本研究中,采用该框架,为印度孟买的14栋住宅社区开发并验证了UBEM。在UBEM中采用节能建筑规范(ECBC)显示出高达15%的能源使用减少潜力。研究结果还表明,考虑到气候变化的影响,遵守ECBC更有利。原创性/价值在现有建筑存量信息可用性最低的发展中国家,拟议的研究为从头开始制定住宅建筑存量的详细UBEM制定了一个整体框架。提出了一种评估所开发的UBEM实际冷却负荷的独特方法。提出了一种全面的敏感性分析方法来研究冷却空间份额对建筑材料能耗的影响,这将有助于选择合适的改造策略。拟议研究的结果可以显著改变适当能源政策的制定和验证。
