Abstract The study has accumulated the energy data used in buildings according to building types within which city and uses a Mesh Data, for urban energy consumption. The study is based on accumulated data and finds traits of energy distribution by space and time and urban energy consumption. The result of the study is as follows. 1. Upon analyzing energy consumption of subjected area for the study, the commercial buildings show the peak demand of electricity while the residential buildings do the peak demand of heating. 2. Although residential, office and commercial buildings monthly showed low energy consumption per square units, they all have a large proportion of energy consumption because of huge space for buildings and for what composition ratio which provide a determined factor that would greatly effect on urban energy consumption. 3. Distribution of buildings according to their type like a commercial and residential building has influence on the change of spatial and temporal traits of urban energy consumption. 4. High urban energy consumption has been annually shown with centering on a Joonggu district where all kinds of buildings exist ,and social and economic activities occur. 5. A summer in four seasons showed the highest level in the urban energy consumption. 6. 8 PM in 24 hours shows the highest level in the urban energy consumption.
