Evaluation approach of terminal energy consumption of public buildings based on a standardized model

Abstract

The influencing degree of different factors on terminal energy consumption of public building varies distinctly. If the actual measured terminal energy consumption is directly analyzed, the comparison basis is often inconsistent, which may lead to errors of results. In order to evaluate the energy consumption based on a unified standard, eliminating the interference of influencing factors, the standardization and revision of the measurement value of the terminal energy consumption is necessary. By considering domestic public building samples of different climate regions as research objects, this research has introduced a dimensionality reduction and integration method for evaluating influencing factors that could affect the terminal energy consumption of public buildings based on principal component and clustering analysis. Then, the quantitative mathematical expressions of the relationship between terminal energy consumptions and influencing factors were established through multiple linear regression fitting, formulating the standardized mathematical model of the terminal energy consumption of public buildings. According to the energy consumption standardized model, the evaluation approach was provided and scored based on mode analysis method. This approach can evaluate terminal energy consumption level and energy efficiency potential, analyzing the level of terminal energy consumption of public buildings in China.
