Abstract

The paper briefly introduced the current situation and retrofit actions of the existing buildings.It analyzed the energy-saving measures and the retrofit effect by using the energy analysis software-DesignBuilder,which simulated and analyzed the yearly building consumption before and after the retrofit measures.The results showed that the comprehensive reform including the envelope,lighting system and air-conditioning system reforms had decreased 33.38% from the existing yearly building consumption and carbon dioxide emissions had reduced greatly.
