Retrofitting with different building materials: Life-cycle primary energy implications

Energy, 2020
The energy retrofitting of existing buildings reduces the energy use in the operation phase but the use ofadditional materials influence the energy use in other life cycle phases of retrofitted buildings.

Life cycle primary energy analysis of residential buildings

Energy and Buildings, 2010
The space heating demand of residential buildings can be decreased by improved insulation, reduced air leakage and by heat recovery from ventilation air. However, these measures result in an increased use of materials.

Building energy-efficiency standards in a life cycle primary energy perspective

Energy and Buildings, 2011
In this study we analyze the life cycle primary energy use of a wood-frame apartment building designed to meet the current Swedish building code, the Swedish building code of 1994 or the passive house standard, and heated with district heat or electric ...

Primary energy implications of ventilation heat recovery in residential buildings

Energy and Buildings, 2011
In this study, we analyze the impact of ventilation heat recovery (VHR) on the operation primary energy use in residential buildings. We calculate the operation primary energy use of a case-study apartment building built to conventional and passive house

Comparing Primary Energy Attributed to Renewable Energy with Primary Energy Equivalent to Determine Carbon Abatement in a National Context

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2006
The current conventional approach to determining the primary energy associated with non-combustible renewable energy (RE) sources such as wind energy and hydro power is to equate the electricity generated from these sources with the primary energy supply.
