许多商业和机构建筑都有提高能源效率的重要机会。然而，由于可用于研究和实施新战略的资金、时间和人员有限，决定使用哪些战略可能具有挑战性。为了帮助设施经理和建筑运营商确定能源效率策略并确定其优先级，开发了一个问题驱动的决策支持系统工具。本文概述了该工具的开发、测试和评估。38名行业参与者的评估结果发现，将能源和维护决策过程结合起来的决策支持系统有助于支持决策过程，将现有建筑改造为积极运营和维护的节能建筑。引用:ASHRAE Trans。，第118卷第。德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥2号

Many commercial and institutional buildings have significantopportunities to improve energy efficiency. However,determining which strategies to use can be challenging due tolimited funds, time and staff available to research and implementnew strategies. To help facility managers and buildingoperators determine and prioritize energy efficiency strategies,a question driven decision support system tool was developed.This paper summarizes the development, testing andevaluation of the tool. Results of the evaluation by 38 industryparticipants found that decision support systems that combineenergy and maintenance decision making processes can behelpful and useful to support decision making processes totransform existing buildings into proactively operated andmaintained, energy efficient buildings.
