Study on Energy Saving Effects of ZEB Retrofit in University Facilities - Based on the Impact of the Pandemic -

In this study, the simulation reflects the changes in the use of university facilities by COVID-19 and shows the changes in primary energy consumption. The actual value, which was 1304MJ/(m²/year) before the pandemic, changed to 1399MJ/(m²/year) after the pandemic. Therefore, we will clarify the factors behind the change in actual values. Furthermore, we will quantitatively evaluate the energy reduction effect when practical energy-saving technologies are introduced to university facilities. The simulation results show that primary energy consumption can be reduced by 8.5% by reviewing the lighting equipment and outer skin performance. It was also found that primary energy consumption could be reduced by 43.3% by reviewing the air conditioning equipment and operation. Furthermore, the addition of solar panels increased the amount of energy created by 45.6MJ/(m²/year). As a result, primary energy consumption could be reduced by up to 751.3MJ/(m²/year), or 56.8% compared to the actual value. In addition, primary energy consumption could be reduced by up to 619.3MJ/(m²/year), or 52.8% compared to the BEST Standard. Based on the above results, the subject building is expected to be ZEB Ready.

Abstract

In this study, the simulation reflects the changes in the use of university facilities by COVID-19 and shows the changes in primary energy consumption. The actual value, which was 1304MJ/(m²/year) before the pandemic, changed to 1399MJ/(m²/year) after the pandemic. Therefore, we will clarify the factors behind the change in actual values. Furthermore, we will quantitatively evaluate the energy reduction effect when practical energy-saving technologies are introduced to university facilities. The simulation results show that primary energy consumption can be reduced by 8.5% by reviewing the lighting equipment and outer skin performance. It was also found that primary energy consumption could be reduced by 43.3% by reviewing the air conditioning equipment and operation. Furthermore, the addition of solar panels increased the amount of energy created by 45.6MJ/(m²/year). As a result, primary energy consumption could be reduced by up to 751.3MJ/(m²/year), or 56.8% compared to the actual value. In addition, primary energy consumption could be reduced by up to 619.3MJ/(m²/year), or 52.8% compared to the BEST Standard. Based on the above results, the subject building is expected to be ZEB Ready.
