(2015) Factory eco-efficiency modelling: The impact of data granularity on manufacturing and building asset simulation results quality. International Journal of Energy Sector Management, Volume 9, Issue 4, pp. 547-5641750-6220http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/IJESM-05-2013-0004https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/9741Purpose – This paper reports on the experimentation of an integrated manufacturing and building model to improve energy efficiency. Traditionally, manufacturing and building-facilities engineers work independently, with their own performance objectives, methods and software support. However, with progresses in resource reduction, advances have become more challenging. Further opportunities for energy efficiency require an expansion of scope across the functional boundaries of facility, utility and manufacturing assets.enIf mandated by a funding agency, the author's post-print may be deposited in any open access repository after an embargo period of between 0 months and 24 months.
