The aim is to propose and evaluate time-based energy conservation measures in an academic building using energy modeling.
Applied audit-driven building energy modeling to an academic building at Assiut University, Egypt.
Developed a calibrated building energy model using SketchUp, OpenStudio, and EnergyPlus.
Classified energy conservation measures into working-day ECMs and time-slot-modification ECMs.
Modifying lecture and tutorial durations achieved 6.2% annual energy savings.
Seasonal time shifts resulted in 5.8% energy savings.
Combined implementation of ECMs reduced annual energy consumption by up to 16% and daily peak demand by 29.4%.
