dc.description.abstractApproaches reducing energy usage are identified for university residence buildings in this project, and applied in an analysis for a particular building, namely Olympus Hall, University of Calgary. It is proposed that building resealing and lighting fixture renovation are effective techniques to reduce energy consumption. Three dimensions are considered for each technique: actual (before) and estimated (after) energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and the estimated simple payback period. The proposed resealing of Olympus Hall would result in an estimated 46.66% reduction in annual heating energy use with a payback period of 8 years and 8 months. The proposed replacement of the T12 lighting system with a T8 lighting system at Olympus Hall would produce an estimated 31.2% annual electrical energy savings with a payback period of 3 years and 7 months. Applying both approaches results in an estimated total carbon dioxide emission reduction for Olympus Hall of 39.75% annually.
