Energy, Resource Circularity, and Retrofitting in Positive Energy Districts

2023
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to prove the positive contribution of transformative interventions on existing neighbourhoods and districts in the transition to sustainable cities. According to the goals of climate adaptation and mitigation and of reduction of climate-altering emissions of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, cities ...

Retrofit of complex and energy intensive processes—I

Computers & Chemical Engineering, 1995
Abstract Thermodynamic methods of process synthesis are very useful for the design of complex and energy intensive processes, but they cannot be used simultaneously with material balances. Algorithmic methods are simultaneous, but they are difficult to solve for complex and energy intensive processes because the number of variables increases with the

Defining the “Smart” Energy Retrofit

2020 AIA/ACSA Intersections Research Conference: CARBON, 2020
This research uses a case study of a prototypical higher education campus renovation project to investigate and model a “smart” energy retrofit—one that considers the carbon payback as well as the cost payback of the renovation to target strategic energy retrofit measures that provide maximum carbon reductions with minimum carbon and cost investment ...

Industrial Energy Retrofit Planning Using Automated Retrofit Targeting

Process Integration and Optimization for Sustainability, 2020
There is increasing pressure for industrial sites to minimise energy consumption. A long-term energy reduction strategy plays a critical role in realising energy savings. A key exchange mechanism of energy for sites is the heat exchanger network, which can be revamped and retrofitted to lift process energy efficiency.

Deep Energy Retrofit (DER)

2017
Major building renovations provide an excellent opportunity to implement DER projects, since much of the work necessary to prepare the DER is to be done anyway: the building is typically vacated and is gutted; scaffolding is installed; single-pane and damaged windows are often scheduled for replacement; building envelope insulation is considered; and ...

Temporal spillover of private housing energy retrofitting: Distribution of home energy retrofits and implications for subsidy policies

Energy Policy, 2021
Abstract Energy retrofitting of private housing is fundamental to reducing the environmental footprint of the building stock, and energy efficiency policies are based on assumptions of the effects of retrofitting, including those on further retrofitting, also called temporal spillover.

Retrofitting for Energy Management

2019
According to ISO 50001, energy management systems are increasingly being implemented in companies, with the continuous measurement of energy consumption playing an important role. At the same time, energy meters are increasingly becoming cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the IoT age.

Energy conservation lighting retrofit

Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, 2003
Based on the findings of an energy audit, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston applied for and received funds to implement several energy conservation retrofit measures. The original scope of work for this retrofit called for the installating reflectors in all four-lamp fixtures, cleaning the diffusers, installing two 34 W energy ...

Marginal Costs of Building Energy Retrofit

The aim of decarbonizing the economy implies taking action in several areas, one of which is the building industry. Users are likely to benefit from the transition to green buildings in multiple ways, such as lower energy bills as well as higher healthiness and perceived comfort. Nonetheless, those benefits come at a cost.
