Establishment of Standard Models According to Public Building Types for the Green-Remodeling Pre-Decision Making Supporting Tools

Purpose: The final purpose of this study is to minimize the cost and time required in the green remodeling decision making and further promote the green remodeling market, and in this work, a standard model for each type of public building was developed as a first step to develop judgement tools to support pre-decision making. Method: The standard model refers to a series of databases with pre-set input variables for each type of building in order to minimize existing complex energy simulation input variables and increase accessibility to non-specialists. The database was established using existing public building licensing data, building energy efficiency certification cases, legal standards, and related research. Result: Based on the standard model database, we will develop support tools for pre-decision making of green remodeling and develop a web-based system that can easily compare energy requirements before and after green remodeling improvement and calculate expected construction costs.
