*Aim and Approach*Geographical locations can significantly impact the economic viability of building upgrading strategies. Previous research into environmental and economic assessments has yielded conflicting results regarding whether decarbonization measures result in additional expenditures or cost savings. To address this issue, the cost-benefit...
Energy benchmarking is an accurate tool to measure, monitor, and reduce end-use energy consumption in the building sector using comparison scenarios. Various studies have applied Bottom-Up energy consumption assessment to compare the energy performance of a group of buildings with a benchmark. The Bottom-Up method mostly relies on simulating an ide...
Public buildings such as schools have a great potential for energy efficiency as well as improving their
performance to reduce CO2 emissions. Schools with huge building areas, a large number of users, and var-
ious equipment use more energy compared with other building types. Top-Down energy benchmarking is
a policy tool that detects inefficient buil...
Recently, more attention has been devoted to Prefabricated Buildings (PBs) as an alternative technique for developing building sustainability. Due to a great deal of discussion about the link between environmental and economic performance and a lack of critical review relating the PBs to these two aspects, the main focus of this research is on the...
A courtyard is an architectural design element which is often known as microcli-mate modifiers and is responsible to increase the indoor occupant comfort in traditional architecture. The aim of this study is to conduct a parametric evaluation of courtyard design variants in a residential building of different climates with a focus on indoor thermal...
Thermal bridges in balconies considerably affect the overall thermal transmittance of building envelopes and are the main cause of building defects such as condensation, mold formation, and degradation of materials. The aim of this study is to conduct an evaluation of the impact of two thermal bridge solutions in common balcony connection details o...
Thermal properties of a building’s façade elements and their connecting details are one of the main factors which determine energy consumption in buildings. Applying wrong constructional details will cause thermal bridges in the facade, which may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of façade elements, indoor thermal comfort conditions and an in...
Irregular use of fossil resources causes increasing of greenhouse gases, raising the global temperature and environmental problems. Saving energy to improve the destructive effects of this phenomenon and reduce consuming cost is important. Thermal insulations are those materials which their specifications result in heat flow reduction and finally e...
Energy and its efficient use and also the limitation of fossil resources as common problems are highly considered by related individuals in construction industry. In this context, each factor, causing reduction of energy consumption in the building is counted to be important. One of the ways to reduce energy consumption in buildings in cold regions...
Questions
Question (1)
Dear all,
Have you ever calculated the residual value of a product with the equation based on EN 15459-1:2017?
I am wondering why the residual value increases as long as we increase the calculation period. (For example, the lifetime of a product is 20 years, so in the year 30th or 35th of our calculation period that we have only one-time replacement, residual value increases as long as you put the 35 for your calculation period rather than 30!). Normally, we expect a decrease in the residual value by passing of the years.
