Energy efficiency measures for buildings in Hebron city and their expected impacts in the distribution grid

Implementing energy efficiency measures in Hebron's buildings could significantly reduce Palestine's reliance on external energy sources, potentially contributing to energy independence. A study analyzed the impact of such measures across different building typologies in Hebron, estimating their effectiveness through software simulations and identifying optimal combinations for maximizing energy demand reduction. The research also assessed the resulting changes in power losses within the electrical distribution grid and provided a preliminary economic evaluation of the proposed actions. These findings underscore the strategic importance of building retrofits in achieving energy sustainability in Palestine.
