Abstract
En 中文
• Developed a data-driven framework to identify residential retrofit priorities by climate zone and energy end use. • An XAI method is applied to identify and interpret key features affecting cooling and heating EUI. • Warmer and transitional zones (CZ 4–6) should prioritize solar control, mechanical efficiency, and ventilation. • Colder zones (CZ 7 A–8) should prioritize reducing ground and window heat losses and improving airtightness. • Under future climate scenarios, system efficiency and operational controls become increasingly influential across climate zones.
