Commercial Building Energy Saver: An energy retrofit analysis toolkit [PDF]
Applied Energy, 2015 Abstract Small commercial buildings in the United States consume 47% of the total primary energy of the buildings sector. Retrofitting small and medium commercial buildings poses a huge challenge for owners because they usually lack the expertise and resources to identify and evaluate cost-effective energy retrofit strategies. This paper presents the
