Analysis of the External Window Retrofitting for Energy Saving and Economy in Wuhan's Residential Buildings

To discuss the technical and economic problems that emerges in building energy efficiency reform of existing residential building in Wuhan, the energy comsumption of typical existing buildings is calculated using the Dest-h energy consumption simulation software before and after energy conservation transformation. The energy saving potential of exterior window transformation is analyzed and the economy of multiple solutions on the grounds of the market cost is discussed. Finally, taking both energy conservation efficiency and economy into consideration, the optimal and supplementary scheme of exterior window retrofitting for residential buildings in Wuhan is obtained.
