Abstract The opportunities for energy savings by retrofitting of the existing
school buildings in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are significant because of
their excessive energy consumption and space cooling demand. In this research,
energy modeling and simulation are utilized with the use of Design Builder software to examine the influence of various retrofitting measures of air-conditioning
(A/C) system and building envelope components on the energy use. Several combined measures are implemented and assessed to achieve the main goal of this
research of selecting the best course of action to reduce cooling energy consumption for existing school buildings in the UAE.… More >
