Reducing Operational Energy Consumption in Traditional Buildings through Retrofitting
Abstract: Buildings consume a major chunk of total energy. Operational and Embodied energy are two components through which energy is consumed in a building. For a typical building its operational energy has to be controlled because it is consumed throughout the building’s life. In traditional buildings, energy saving measures were more passive but now days, increasing energy consumption in building requires active measures to be incorporated. Therefore, to prevent buildings from …
