Performance Gap and Occupant Behavior in Building Retrofit: Focus on Dynamics of Change and Continuity in the Practice of Indoor Heating
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Sustainability"
DOI: 10.3390/su12145820
Abstract: Building retrofit is often reported to fail in achieving predicted energy savings; this mismatch in post-retrofit conditions is labeled the ‘energy performance gap’ and may be due to both occupant behavior and technical issues. In… read more here.
