Abstract:
... National building energy savings (NBES) plays an essential role in policymaking of China's building energy–efficiency (BEE) work. Numerous factors, such as technological progress and users' behavior, affect NBES while most of them are unquantifiable. One missing possibility along this direction is that there is currently no method to calculate China's NBES by summarizing all driving factors. To ar ...
