Value Engineering and its role in energy efficiency in educational buildings

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6

Abstract

Figures show that about 37 percent of total energy consumption in the building sector's energy consumption that has been increasing by an average increase of about 7%. Energy consumption in buildings of 6/2 times the developed countries and is estimated 310 kWh per square meter per year. And while, in developed countries this rate is equivalent to 120 kilowatt-hours per square meter. According to the existing problems, various organizations are seeking solutions for energy efficiency and demand side management. In this paper, the purpose is use of value engineering activities leads to reduced energy consumption and optimization in the Aliabad Katool Branch of Islamic Azad University. In this first phase of the project, the identification, analysis, design should be reviewed. Establishment of Value Engineering Committee moreover spacing and prepare the necessary steps to implement value engineering, will be caused to perform the project reasonable and appropriate in the context of macroeconomic policies in the Islamic Azad University.
