The paper predicts and studies on the cooling loads of the pavilions in 2010 Shanghai World Expo based on the general planning of the expo. The simulation models are established using DOE-2, for the various pavilions: 5 permanent pavilions, national pavilions, international organization pavilions, corporate pavilions, and temporary exhibition pavilions. The modularization method is used to simplify the simulation models of the temporary exhibition pavilions. The cooling loads of the various pavilions from May 1st to Oct 31st 2010 are simulated and analyzed, including hourly cooling loads, monthly cooling loads and hourly cooling loads on summer design day. Lastly, three factors — weather, visitor flow rate and outdoor air supplying mode, are selected to conduct the uncertainty analysis on their impact on the cooling loads.

Since buildings are one of the major contributors to global warming, efforts should be intensified to make them more energy-efficient, particularly existing buildings. This research intends to analyze the energy savings from a suggested retrofitting program using energy simulation for typical existing residential buildings. For the assessment of the energy retrofitting program using computer simulation, the most commonly utilized residential building types were selected. The energy consumption of those selected residential buildings was assessed, and a baseline for evaluating energy retrofitting was established. Three levels of retrofitting programs were implemented. These levels were ordered by cost, with the first level being the least costly and the third level is the most expensive. The simulation models were created for two different types of buildings in three different climatic zones in Palestine. The findings suggest that water heating, space heating, space cooling, and electric lighting are the highest energy consumers in ordinary houses. Level one measures resulted in a 19–24 percent decrease in energy consumption due to reduced heating and cooling loads. The use of a combination of levels one and two resulted in a decrease of energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting by 50–57%. The use of the three levels resulted in a decrease of 71–80% in total energy usage for heating, cooling, lighting, water heating, and air conditioning.

The Thai Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo was basically similar to that of the 1992 World Expo in Spain; both exhibited traditional elements of Thai architecture without any modern transformation.
