The results also demonstrate that although the use of energy-saving solutions has a significant impact on energy consumption, even the most economic solutions investigated will have a payback period longer than one decade. The results show that the existing construction and envelope materials fail to meet the national standards of Iran, but insulating the envelope was found to be a more cost-effective measure than modifying the windows. The impact of typical energy saving solutions was evaluated for three cost refurbishment scenarios: low, medium and high. The building base-load was determined using a linear regression method based on existing energy bills, and was used to validate the computer simulation of its energy usage. In this paper, the energy conservation potential of a residential building located in Iran’s cold climate was investigated through an analysis of its actual energy consumption and through computer simulation.

Of course there is a Windows Phone 8 app in the Windows Phone Store, but it cost $1.99.The continuing importance of energy conservation in the building sector has drawn major attention to energy audits of existing buildings in different climates. If you’re are reading about this Windows Store app at the time of the writing, you’ll be happy to know that thanks to a partnership between our neighbor site WindowsObserver and the creators of the Nextgen Reader, the app will be free for Windows 8 users until tomorrow March 11, 2014.
