PREDICTED VS ACTUAL CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS: LESSONS LEARNED FROM MEASURED ENERGY PERFORMANCE.

Author(s) : CLEARY C. M., SCHULDT M. A.

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE RESULTS AND EXPERIENCES OF USING MEASURED END-USE LOAD DATA IN ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF CONSERVATION-RELATED RETROFITS IN SEVEN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. ELECTRIC ENERGY SAVINGS RANGED FROM 4 TO 38% OF TOTAL BASELINE ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION. TOTAL (ALL FUELS) ENERGY SAVINGS RANGED FROM 1 TO 23%. LIGHTING MEASURES WERE THE MOST FREQUENTLY INSTALLED CONSERVATIONSTRATEGIES. THE OTHER INSTALLED MEASURES INCLUDED HVAC EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENTS AND INSULATION AND REFRIGERATION EFFICIENCY MEASURES. THE ANTICIPATED ELECTRIC ENERGY SAVINGS FROM THESE MEASURES WAS AN AVERAGE OF 14%. THE ACTUAL AVERAGE ELECTRIC ENERGY SAVINGS ACHIEVED WAS 11%.
