Scenario-Based Design and Assessment of renewable energy supply systems for green building applications

This study aims to develop a new approach to design and analyze the feasibility and benefit of renewable energy sources (RES) - based energy supply strategy for green building applications. In achieving the goal, we generated a technology superstructure for the energy supply systems using nine different scenarios by combining three types of building and three representing regions. We then analyzed the proposed systems using an optimization technique for the minimum cost or CO2 emission. As a result, we identified the feasibility and benefits of the proposed hybrid systems by comparing to the conventional energy supply systems.
