DEMONSTRATED COST AVOIDANCE THROUGH BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATIONS AND ECONOMIC ANALYSES

摘要

This paper discusses the effectiveness of energy cost avoidance consulting services for architects and engineers. Significant savings in both energy operating costs and construction costs are demonstrated through comparative analyses of alternative Energy Conservation Measures (ECM's). Case Studies applying the DOE-2 building energy simulation program, Summary (A micro-based post processor for DOE-2), and MECON (Micro-based ECONomic analysis program) are presented.
