Efficient HVAC control is often the most cost-effective option to improve the energy efficiency of a building.
With such relationship, it is possible to develop an intelligent air‐conditioning control to yield the most cost‐effective thermal envir...
Good HVAC control is often the most cost-effective option to improve the energy efficiency of a building.
Both the building owner’s goal to keep a certain average temperature for energy saving reasons, and the tenants’ goals, possibility to vary the indoor temperature at individual apartment level, seems to be possible to reach.
The results show that Passive House renovations can be cost-effective, but this largely depends on the type of heat generation used in the houses.
The results showed that the mitigation strategy was effective at reducing the internal temperature in the internally insulated house to a level similar to that observed in the uninsulated house.
Therefore, reducing storage temperature has the potential to reduce waste, but at a total net cost.
Integrated coheating has the potential to provide a more cost-effective and informative indication of whole house heat loss than electric coheating, as it enables in situ quantification of both fabric and heating system performance.
Reducing heat flow rate would reduce the electricity cost for the house lifetime.
However, there was moderate quality evidence that, when appropriately commissioned, zonal controllers, which heat individual spaces to different temperatures at different times, could save energy compared to whole-house controllers, and that low-cost systems of this type could be cost-effective.
