A methodology and toolkit for the assessment and selection of LZC technologies in the building design process

摘要: The advent of environmentally driven building regulations, rising energy costs, and heightened client awareness energy-related issues has increased the demand for assessment integrated low-carbon (LZC) supply systems. However, it is seldom case that any one software tool fulfils needs an appraisal these types Therefore, there a clear need effective methodology use range tools in LZC technology analysis. This paper describes practitioner-driven project within which such supporting (termed 'toolkit') been developed. application this toolkit to real design problem described results from analysis are discussed. also addresses means by can be presented clients other stakeholders process.
