Urban building energy modeling and retrofit design as a means to inform effective public policy : Boston case study
Residential buildings use upwards of 20% of the total energy consumed annually in the United States. This, coupled with the desire to reduce overall utility costs and improve occupant comfort on the part of residents, places cities, as the main catalyst for local energy policy, at the forefront of …
