To effectively plan of energy saving and energy efficiency measures, it is necessary to take account of energy consumption. However, this leads to an increase in the number of metering stations, which in turn leads to additional human and material costs for their maintenance, as well as the collection and processing of information from the devices installed on them. The ability to automate these works is the most profitable solution. In this paper, the ACEAS installed in the KSPEU was considered. Its work from April to May 2019 was analyzed.

The Serbian Energy Efficiency Project 1 (SEEP1 - Design and Supervision Support for Implementation of the Energy Efficiency Improvements in Public Buildings in Serbia), funded by a credit from The World Bank, has involved the energy efficient refurbishment of 28 public buildings in Serbia (12 hospitals and 16 schools). The major goal of the project has been implementation of the energy efficiency improvements in public buildings in Serbia and the verification of the energy and cost savings as well as CO2 emission reductions achieved through implementation of the energy efficiency measures. Significant energy consumption savings have been achieved for all refurbished buildings with annual savings in the range of 15% to 63% and an average of 40% over entire project. Associated annual CO2 emission reductions vary between 15% to 64% with an average of 42%. The average specific space heating annual energy consumption for the hospitals monitored was ~339 kWh/m2 and has been reduced down to ~205 kWh/m2 after refurbishment. The average specific space heating annual energy consumption for the schools monitored was ~243 kWh/m2 and has been reduced down to ~144 kWh/m2 after refurbishment. The simple payback period (SPP) on investment across all buildings was found to be about 7.5 years. For hospitals, due to their 24/7 operation, the average SPP is 5.3 years and for schools is 12.8 years.

Electric appliances for cooling and lighting are responsible for most of the increase in electricity consumption in Karachi, Pakistan. This study aims to investigate the impact of passive energy efficiency measures (PEEMs) on the potential reduction of indoor temperature and cooling energy demand of an architectural campus building (ACB) in Karachi, Pakistan. PEEMs focus on the building envelope’s design and construction, which is a key factor of influence on a building’s cooling energy demand. The existing architectural campus building was modeled using the building information modeling (BIM) software Autodesk Revit. Data related to the electricity consumption for cooling, building masses, occupancy conditions, utility bills, energy use intensity, as well as space types, were collected and analyzed to develop a virtual ACB model. The utility bill data were used to calibrate the DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus base case models of the existing ACB. The cooling energy demand was compared with different alternative building envelope compositions applied as PEEMs in the renovation of the existing exemplary ACB. Finally, cooling energy demand reduction potentials and the related potential electricity demand savings were determined. The quantification of the cooling energy demand facilitates the definition of the building’s electricity consumption benchmarks for cooling with specific technologies.
