Evaluation of the Effect of Energy Efficient Measures Applied in Public-Service Buildings

A detailed assessment of the effect of implementing energy saving measures (ESMs) in administrative buildings, is presented in the following work. The main objective is to study the impact of these measures on energy consumption and to refine the difference between actual and predicted energy costs....

description A detailed assessment of the effect of implementing energy saving measures (ESMs) in administrative buildings, is presented in the following work. The main objective is to study the impact of these measures on energy consumption and to refine the difference between actual and predicted energy costs. To achieve this goal, extensive research is conducted, covering 44 administrative buildings in different areas in Bulgaria. After implementing a total of 144 ESMs in these buildings, the effect of the measures was followed over a four-year period. The results of the research show a significant reduction in energy costs after the implementation of energy saving measures in administrative buildings. This has a double benefit—it optimizes the financial resources of the organizations that use the buildings, and it contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
