TECHO‐ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND ENHANCING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Abstract

Enhancing energy efficiency in residential buildings is essential for reducing energy consumption, minimizing environmental impact and improving overall sustainability. A comprehensive techno-economic analysis is critical for evaluating the effectiveness of energy efficiency measures in residential buildings. It helps to balance technical feasibility with economic considerations. This paper analyzes the energy performance of a residential building and explores different strategies to enhance its efficiency. The current energy classification of the building is analyzed, and the study identifies strategies for reducing electricity consumption and operational costs. It evaluates these measures' technical feasibility and potential energy savings, highlighting their effect on long-term energy demand and operational costs. It also outlines specific interventions needed to improve the building’s energy rating by one level, concentrating on optimizing overall energy performance and sustainability. This paper presents enhancing energy efficiency using Knauf software. The analysis also considers the techno-economic aspects of the proposed measures, assessing their feasibility and cost-effectiveness to ensure a balanced approach to improving energy efficiency.
