Abstract

The large energy consumption differences are caused by the multi-function of large-scale public buildings. Especially in those comprehensive buildings which have multiple functions of hotel, office and shopping, it is hard to evaluate the energy consumption horizontally among the comprehensive buildings. Thus, this article analyzes the different functional areas and energy consumption data of large-scale public buildings according to the energy audit on 48 buildings in Shanghai. Then, this article proposes a set of energy consumption indicators of different items for different functional buildings, which is helpful in evaluating the energy consumption level of the large-scale multi-functional buildings in practice.
