Energy Properties in Urban Building Stock
Buildings in urban areas were examined for energy consumption and energy conservation potential. Oil is 75% of heating fuel. Over 30% of the overall building volume heated is served by district or regional heating. The annual consumption of heating energy in buildings fluctuates between 30 and 140 kW hr/cu m. Function, size, and maintenance patterns affect energy consumption. Interior temperature levels and ventilation account for much of the dispersion in consumption values. Older buildings consume less energy per unit volume than those erected after 1960. Buildings constructed since 1975 consume over 10% less energy than the average. It is concluded that it is possible to reduce energy consumption within cost-effective limits in urban building stock by one third during the 1980's.
