Definitions

According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), energy performance is a comprehensive theory related to energy use and energy efficiency. It is an element of the energy management system (ISO 2014). Moreover, energy efficiency means the elimination of energy loss. In other words, it can be defined as utilizing less energy for achieving the same task.

Introduction

Since energy is one of the most critical factors for both daily life and economic development, its consumption has been increased during the past decades. Figure 1 illustrates global total energy consumption by different sectors as well as total energy-related CO2 emissions over almost past six decades. According to this figure, the industrial and commercial sectors are the most significant and smallest sectoral energy consumer, respectively.
