- Abstract
This study compared and analyzed both the energy savings and cost-effectiveness of various energy-saving technologies retrofitted to common buildings in China. Base models for an office and store building, set in representative climate zones of China-Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou-were established and calibrated in EnergyPlus, a building energy simulation software program. Various energy-saving technologies were then applied to these models in EnergyPlus to calculate the overall energy savings under different climate conditions. In addition, a payback analysis was performed to determine the cost-effectiveness of each technology. The final results of this study can serve as a preliminary reference for selecting effective and economical energy-saving technologies to retrofit existing public buildings.
