Energy performance modelling of energy efficiency retrofits in Northern housing . : NH18-22/115-7E-PDF

This research study provides an indication of the extent of the energy efficiency measures needed to make notable reductions in the energy consumption of northern housing. With local knowledge of energy and retrofit costs, preliminary estimates of the energy cost savings and paybacks associated with the energy efficiency measures can be developed. The study also demonstrates interactive effects within some of the proposed EEMs. While the savings may be less than expected, the measures are often warranted for other reasons including ensuring energy use is as efficient as possible at each end-use point, enhancing the indoor living environment and increasing the durability of the building envelope. With the variety of EEM packages offered, a residential energy consumption simulation program is presented that explores the energy retrofit potential of archetypical housing in the North.
