| Abstract |
The university's energy consumption has been increasing continuously in South Korea. And also, the newly constructed buildings at universities are constantly increasing. The purpose of this study is to survey and analyse the present condition of energy consumption in newly built university campus. In order to carry out the research, newly built university campus located in Incheon, South Korea was selected. Investigation items were building and facility system, system operating conditions, energy consumption of March 2010 to February 2011. The investigation were conducted by data collection and visiting interviews with staff. The results can be summarized as follows. The electric power consumption and thermal consumption at the newly built university campus are greatly affected by heating & cooling periods and system operating condition. In order to reduce energy consumption, response is required by considering the seasonal and daily characteristics of the building's energy consumption. The total energy consumption of the university campus was 6,310 TOE and the share of it was 65% of electric power, 33% of heat and 2% of gas respectively. The ratio of electric power was much higher than the other research results. The energy consumption unit was analyzed as 238.68 Mcal/m²·year. It is 19% less than the previous research result on university campus energy consumption. |
