Potential on Comfort Enhancement and Energy Saving through Behavioral Change of Energy Users in Real European Buildings
The study monitored 10 real European buildings to identify comfort enhancement potential and energy saving potential based on changing the behavior of building users. The results show that the office building could have saved up to EUR 2500 in energy during the study period while the healthcare cent...

| description | The study monitored 10 real European buildings to identify comfort enhancement potential and energy saving potential based on changing the behavior of building users. The results show that the office building could have saved up to EUR 2500 in energy during the study period while the healthcare centers could have saved more than EUR 1000. The highest energy saving potential is related to the use of the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system. It has also been found out that there is a potential to improve comfort conditions in all the pilot buildings. The highest potential on comfort is identified in the improvement of the luminance conditions. |
