Energy conservation in existing office buildings
Retrofit measures in existing office buildings were studied. The measures studied included: lighting control including automatic light switches that detect no occupancy and optical dimming systems that reduce the level of artificial lighting, as the contribution of daylighting increases; load limiting devices to hold maximum electrical usage in a building to a predetermined instantaneous load demand and to permit duty cycling; chilled water storage at night for use during the day to help shave the utility's summer load peak and reduce user costs; strategically located independent units and distribution systems that can provide heating and/or cooling for intermittent and local use; and louvers or operable windows. Findings in the context of New York City existing office buildings are given. (MCW)
