Calculate the ADORB cost for a Passive House building.
Project description
PH-ADORB (WIP):
A Python Library for calculating building ADORB costs.
A.D.O.R.B. cost: Annualized De-carbonization Of Retrofitted Buildings cost - a “full-cost-accounted” annualized life-cycle cost metric for building projects. It includes the (annualized) direct costs of retrofit and maintenance, direct energy costs, a carbon cost for both operating and embodied/upfront greenhouse gas emissions, and a renewable-energy system-transition cost based on the required electrical service capacity. [Phius Revive 2024 Retrofit Standard for Buildings v24.1.00]
The ADORB cost is used as part of the Phius-REVIVE building retrofit program. Phius Research Committee has an example implementation of the ADORB calculation which can be found at:
https://github.com/Phius-ResearchComittee/REVIVE
The PH-ADORB library is an adaptation of this original code into an object-oriented version. This library is a work-in-progress and should NOT be used for any Phius compliance analysis or reporting.
Note:
PH-Tools is in no way affiliated with Phius, and the library here is neither reviewed, nor approved by Phius for use in complying with the REVIVE program.
