Abstract

In this review paper, a number of research studies and technical methods have been reviewed. Recently published papers related to the Building Energy Efficiency (BEE) have been cited in order to give readers information about latest applied approaches and technologies implemented to real scenarios for different types of buildings under different conditions. In this paper, reviewed papers that consider BEE and energy-use are selected. For example, approaches that achieve high rate(s) of building energy efficiency and energy-use performance have been cited. However, methods applied to measure building energy efficiency and predict energy-use behavior for energy demand measurement purposes have been considered and reviewed. This paper aims to collect a number of papers whose their aims are to propose systems affecting the building energy efficiency and energy-use performance either in a direct or indirect way, thus retrofit systems significantly affect building energy efficiency therefore retrofit related papers have been reviewed. Also, light control systems related papers have been considered. On the other hand, solutions proposed by several studies e.g., adaptive lights and smart buildings used for smart services e.g., notifying occupants in regard to energy-use have been covered in this review. Collected papers have been retrieved from top-tier publishers e.g., IEEE, Elsevier, PLOS, MDPI, and Emerald.
