Assessment of Residential Buildings' Performances

Energy, economic and environmental performance of residential buildings which are highly responsible for the energy consumed globally and for CO2 release associated with energy consumption should be assessed and solution suggestions to reduce their energy consumption should be developed. It is a known fact that the energy efficiency level of residential buildings can be increased by improving their energy performance and therefore significant amount of energy can be saved. Therefore this study aims to develop measures which are effective in improving energy performance of residential buildings with the goal of achieving optimum benefit for country resources and decision makers and to assess life cycle energy, economic and environmental performance of residential buildings.
