3 Outline Introduction Modelling method - Scenarios setting - Core technology bundle - Climate conditions - Building classification - Building model Results and analysis Summaries

4 Rapid development Introduction 1981 Urbanization rate: 20.2% 2013 Urbanization rate: 53.7% Average GDP growth rate 9.9% Reference: NBS 2014

5 Million squaer meters Introduction Building stocks and energy usage The annual building floor area completed 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 Total non-residential building floor space completed Total residential building floor space completed Total building floor space completed 27.5% 1, Reference: NBS 1997, NBS 2014, THUBERC 2014, MOHURD 2014

6 Introduction Building retrofitting achievement Building retrofitting during Chinese 11th Five Year Plan(FYP)( ) were mainly focused on residential buildings in northern central heating area, 1820 million m 2 of total building area were achieved at that period. 510 million m 2 of existing buildings had been planned to be retrofitted during the 12 th FYP (2011 to 2015),including 60 million m 2 of public buildings, 50 million m 2 of southern residential buildings and 400 million m 2 of northern residential buildings. During the first three years of the 12 th FYP(2011 to 2013), 620 million m 2 of existing buildings were retrofitted to improve building energy efficiency. Reference: MOHURD 2012, Wang 2014, NPC 2014

7 Introduction Building retrofit technologies Building envelope Insulation (wall, roof, slab et al.) Window updating (multiple glazing, Lowe coating, shading system) Air tightness Building services Lighting upgrade Energy efficient equipment Control upgrade Heat recovery Human factors Comfort requirement Occupant activities Access to controls Management and maintenance

8 Introduction Building retrofit types in China Envelope retrofit External window retrofit Internal heating and metering system retrofit External heating supply system retrofit Retrofit on ground source heat pump Reference: Shui & Li, 2012

9 Introduction Building age band % Pre % % % %

10 Scenarios setting Scenario 1: Baseline Case. The baseline scenario is based on the typical 1980s building envelope construction and system performance. Scenario 2: Current Standard Case. This scenario describes the 1980s building that been retrofitted using the core technology bundle to meet all the current standards. Scenario 3: Deeper Retrofit Case. This scenario is about deep retrofitting of the 1980s building by introducing advanced technologies to further reduce energy consumption.

11 Core technology bundle Enhancement of the building insulation (roof, slab, external wall and external window) and air tightness. Improvement of the efficiency of lighting systems and equipment (lamp type, equipment power efficiency). Improvement of HVAC system efficiency (boiler and chillier). Application of advanced technologies including daylighting control and heat recovery (for Scenario 3 only).

15 Office building classification Office type Typical characteristics Outward appearance 1. Naturally ventilated, cellular (1) A simple building, often (but not always) relatively small. (2) Typical size ranges from 100m 2 to 2. Naturally ventilated, open-plan 3. Airconditioned, standard 4. Airconditioned, prestige 3,000m 2. (1) Largely open-plan but with some cellular offices and special areas. (2) Typical size ranges from 500m 2 to 4,000m 2. (1) Largely purpose-built and often speculatively developed. (2) Typical size ranges from 2,000m 2 to 8,000m 2. (1) A national or regional head office, or technical or administrative centre. (2) Typical size ranges from 4,000m 2 to 20,000m 2.

19 Summaries Strategic studies about the feasibility of retrofitting plans by applying the core technology bundle to mitigate the energy consumption in existing air-conditioned buildings to meet the current building standards. Retrofitting by using a single measure can not achieve the current building energy standard. Core technology bundle is the ideal solution for office building retrofitting.

20 Summaries 1980s AC buildings can achieve 45.1% to 62.8% site energy saving by implementing core technology bundle. Deeper retrofitting can save further energy (59.7%-83.2% site energy). However, deeper retrofit and advanced technologies are also associated with higher initial cost; hence an economic cost analysis should be considered before the final decision is made.
