From the author: Careful evaluation of candidate energy conservation measures for applicability and cost efficiency is critical to building energy managers, engineers, contractors, and decision makers in crafting and implementing successful energy conservation building retrofits. This paper presents a simulation based methodology for screening energy conservation technologies and measures for representative conditions (building type, climatic conditions, energy costs, etc.) The study demonstrates the feasibility of applying the methodology using an example of heated and ventilated (not air-conditioned) industrial buildings for six selected energy conservation measures. A simple payback is calculated using electricity and gas savings throughout a year-round operation cycle. Also, a cost/saving analysis shows that application of infernal load reducing technologies in non-air-conditioned facilities affect their thermal environment and has a significant impact on worker's productivity Consideration of worker's productivity improvement as a component of operating cost reduction has a significant impact on the overall pay-back calculation results.
