Abstract

Energy retrofits can improve the sustainability of a building by decreasing the energy consumption and resulting GHG emissions throughout its life. Adopting critical life cycle thinking is crucial when deciding on how to implement building retrofits. This article first evaluates innovative and proven building energy retrofits through a life cycle thinking lens. Next, it develops a methodological framework to assess building retrofits using four principal measures: environmental, economic, social, and technical criteria. The proposed method was demonstrated using an institutional building in Windsor, Ontario, as a case study. The case study revealed that the selected retrofit might result in the least energy savings, but it is still the preferred alternative because other factors can present valuable trade-offs that are desirable. The outcomes of this research, with the demonstrated tool, will assist building managers in determining the optimal energy retrofit for their buildings. Key words: environmental sustainability, buildings, energy retrofit, life cycle assessment. Les ameliorations ecoenergetiques peuvent augmenter la durabilite d'un batiment en reduisant la consommation d'energie et les emissions de GES qui en decoulent tout au long du cycle de vie. L'adoption de la pensee critique par rapport au cycle de vie est cruciale pour decider de la facon de mettre en oeuvre les modernisations des batiments. Cet article evalue d'abord les ameliorations econergetiques novatrices et reconnues pour les batiments en tenant compte du cycle de vie. Ensuite, on elabore un cadre methodologique pour evaluer les modernisations des batiments en utilisant quatre mesures principales : les criteres environnementaux, economiques, sociaux et techniques. La methode proposee a ete demontree a l'aide d'un batiment institutionnel a Windsor, en Ontario, comme etude de cas. Les resultats de cette recherche, avec l'outil confirme, aideront les gestionnaires d'immeubles a determiner les ameliorations econergetiques optimales pour leurs immeubles.

Subjects

Abstract

The assessment of industrial-level energy efficiency's (EE) development is a critical research topic that has entrenched in the global battle against climate change. Under the Energy Efficiency Directives 2012/27/EU and 2018/2002/EU, European Commission sets specific industrial energy efficiency targets, rules and obligations for the 2020-2030 period aiming, among others, at specific energy intensity reduction and energy efficiency improvements. In this paper we use a balanced panel of fourteen European industries from twenty-seven countries for the period 1995-2011 under a metatechnology framework. The aim of this study is to evaluate, at a first stage, the industrial total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) at a national and European level by incorporating technological heterogeneity through a nonparametric approach. Reflecting the divergent views on the importance of desirable and undesirable outcomes in the pursuit of TFEE, we additionally estimate industrial performance by prioritizing either economic or environmental aspects. At the second stage of our analysis, econometric models are applied to investigate the main factors of industrial TFEE using sector specific and country characteristics while we further proceed with a [beta] and [sigma]-convergence analysis for our TFEE measures. The results of this study reveal that small-scale economies exhibit persistent high TFEE scores. At the same time, TFEE determinants suggest that path dependence phenomena have a strong presence, climatic characteristics occur while energy mix displays both linear and non-linear relationship. Either considering one desirable output or consolidating the undesirable output in the production function our results indicate a strong evidence of conditional and unconditional convergence in TFEE scores. Keywords: European industries, Total Factor Energy Efficiency, Metafrontier, Directional Distance Function, Energy mix, Path dependence, Convergence, 1. INTRODUCTION Industrial activities in Europe are in the foreground of the policy agenda imposing a heavy burden on the quality of the environment. Under this perspective, European industries have [...]
