Energy Consumption Status and Characteristics Analysis of University Campus Buildings

Abstract

This paper analyzes the energy status and energy saving measures of the universities in the world based on the current situation of building energy consumption, compares the data including energy consumption per unit area, electric energy consumption per unit area, energy consumption per capita, electric energy consumption per capita and carbon emission per capita. The characteristics of building energy consumption in universities are summarized which can provide the basis for energy saving measures and the development of carbon reduction plan. building information of the school in the city of Espoo and compare the building energy consumption data in 2012. The trend of university building's annual energy consumption is obviously decreasing and the differences of the energy consumption in different constructions are large. The annual energy consumption per unit area is between 145kWh/m 2 and 381kWh/m 2 (4) . Parts of the European countries count the heating energy consumption per unit area of the domestic university. It is concluded that the difference of the heating energy consumption is big in Ireland and the United Kingdom of the same latitude but the difference of that is small in Greece and Italy of the same latitude.
