Phase II deals with establishing the potential value and feasibility of retrofitting conservation measures and determining how best to achieve desired energy savings practically in office buildings in New York City. Five buildings were selected for detailed study. The following steps were taken: performed survey work to include examination and measurements to gather data of the building envelopes, interior loads in the space, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical equipment; used AXCESS program to determine energy consumption for the service systems and compared the energy consumption in the systems; developed retrofit energy conservation programs for the five buildings beyond those already achieved voluntarily since the energy crisis and determined the economic, technical, and practical feasibility for achieving these additional savings; and estimated the energy savings for all New York City office buildings.
