Abstract |
In order to save buildings' operation energy, BEMS, recently, has been introduced actively and through evaluating energy performance quantitatively on BEMS operated buildings, energy characteristics and efficiency information of building can be understood and that it makes it possible to present alternatives to improve energy performance of the buildings. In this study, based on efficiency factors of building systems, EN 15232 standard's applicability on Korean buildings can be evaluated through BACS efficiency class. There is a questionnaire survey for building energy management team to see whether BACS & TBM functions in EN standard can be applied to buildings in Korea. It has often been discovered that some of the detailed control functions available in Korea should be modified in parts and sometimes in whole and this in turn leads to possibilities that EN Standard can be applied to buildings in Korea. Against buildings in this study, it is found that ratio of control function classified BACS efficiency factor for advanced and high-energy performance systems ranges around 54?66% marks and result of overall BACS efficiency class is C ? D class. So, there is a need to improve the level of the building. As a result of statistical analysis of paired samples for t-test in order to find out correlations of similar control functions items between EN 15232 standard's result and former study's result, it is found that there are some significant correlations between the items. |
