Full Description
For existing building energy retrofits, developing a streamlined and cost-effective energy modeling process is critical. The authors say the process should provide building owners with accurate and timely information at a reasonable cost to allow them to make informed decisions about implementing energy efficiency improvements. Usually, only limited resources are available for investing in energy efficiency, so it is important to rank alternatives in terms of return-on-investment to build the case for immediate and future investments in efficiency.
