Analysis of typical public building energy consumption in northern China
HighlightsBuilding basic information, heat sources and energy consumption of 119 public buildings in North China have been analyzed.Energy consumption level for three typical function public buildings have been analyzed by using the statistical data.Factors influencing building energy consumption have been analyzed by using eQUEST building energy simulation software.Energy saving and emission reduction suggestions are given to reduce the building energy consumption and pollutant emissions.Energy consumption baseline and carbon emissions index of public buildings have been determined.
AbstractIn order to investigate the characteristics of public building energy consumption, energy consumption of 119 public buildings in North China have been counted and discussed. Main factors influencing the energy consumption of public building are analyzed by using eQUEST software. Based on the statistics, energy consumption variants and carbon emissions index of public buildings are determined under four situations. The results indicate that the average comprehensive energy consumption per unit area is 147.20kWh/(m2a) and the average power consumption is 47.96kWh/(m2a). Energy consumption level and characteristics of three typical public buildings are investigated. The comprehensive energy consumption per unit area of office, hospital and school buildings varies from 26.76 to 475.27kWh/(m2a); from 91.94 to 329.94kWh/(m2a) and from 50.85 to 204.30kWh/(m2a), respectively, and the average values are 188.36, 194.64 and 103.27kWh/(m2a), respectively. It is found that the energy consumption of hospital building is much higher than that of office and school buildings. The power consumption per unit construction area in north of China is considerably lower than that of the United States and the United Kingdom, but closer to Japan. Among the discussed factors, air conditioning system, lighting density and building envelope are the most significant impacts influencing the building energy consumption. Different functional public buildings have different energy consumption variants and carbon emissions indexes. Based on the statistics, the average energy consumption variants of government office building, non-government office building, hospital building and school building are 169.98, 197.71, 206.92 and 118.54kWh/(m2a), respectively. The average power consumption variants are 66.38, 75.88, 87.44 and 28.13kWh/(m2a), respectively. The average carbon emissions indexes are 85.62, 93.22, 102.46 and 55.04kg/(m2a), respectively.
