TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the hosts' concerns on the use of EPC, as well as propose practical measures to enhance the wider adoption of energy performance contracting (EPC).

TL;DR: A simulation-based method to evaluate the probability of energy saving shortfall taking into account the variations in the influential parameters, including weather conditions, occupancy, operating hours, thermostat set-point, etc., during the contract period is proposed.

TL;DR: A proposed probabilistic approach to evaluate the performance risks of common lighting retrofit measures such as replacement of existing lighting, installation of daylight-linked lighting controls and occupancy-based controls based on a simplified engineering method is focused on.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a probabilistic approach to estimate a range of possible energy savings with the associated confidence levels for chiller replacement in existing buildings, taking into account the annual variations in the influential parameters affecting energy savings.

TL;DR: The theoretical basis of the model is outlined, and explanations are given for the superior performance of the Bayesian method in handling cases with data that cannot fully cover the required range of operating chiller patterns.
