Abstract

Housing retrofit can reduce energy consumption and decrease long-term costs associated with the operation of a building. The objective of this study is to introduce an approach for evaluating energy-efficient housing retrofit alternatives, using data from a real case. A detailed life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of possible retrofitting strategies is performed for the case of a house built in the 1960s in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Based on this case study, an approach is developed to illustrate the impact trend of retrofitting costs on energy consumption savings. By defining three separate cost evaluation zones, comprising of a cost effective zone, an energy efficient zone, and an improvement needed zone, the results of this study can potentially be used not only in decision-making for retrofitting, but also in the evaluation of projects related to energy retrofits. Then, using the proposed methodology for the case study, a normalised model is developed to evaluate the effectiveness of retrofitting effo...
节能住宅改造决策全生命周期成本分析模型
房屋改造可以减少能源消耗,降低与建筑运营相关的长期成本。本研究的目的是介绍一种评估节能住房改造替代方案的方法,使用来自真实案例的数据。对美国新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基一座建于20世纪60年代的房屋进行了详细的生命周期成本分析(LCCA)。在此基础上,提出了一种方法来说明改造成本对节能的影响趋势。通过定义三个独立的成本评估区,包括成本效益区、能源效率区和需要改进的区域,本研究的结果不仅可以用于改造的决策,还可以用于评估与能源改造有关的项目。然后,使用所提出的方法进行案例研究,开发了一个归一化模型来评估改造工作的有效性。
