Abstract
Strategies for reducing the energy consumption of buildings include energy conservation, passive solar, and zone heating systems. In this paper, the constrained and global interzonal and overall building load coefficients, and the optimal mix of energy conservation, passive solar and zone heating are calculated as a function of economic and thermal parameters. Results are presented for the sensitivities of the optimal cost fractions to changes in the cost of passive solar and zone heating. For representative costs, the analysis indicated the largest component is energy conservation, followed by passive solar, zone heating and interzonal insulation.
