Statistical Analysis of Influence Factors on Building Energy Consumption in China by Literature Overview

Abstract:

This paper studies the influence factors on building energy consumption in China. The data resources are extracted from 12 dissertations. By method of analysis of covariance, the effect of each influence factor on energy consumption is discussed. By method of multiple correspondence analysis, the cluster of “low energy factor” is found. By method of extended two-factor theory, the measures to reduce building energy are provided.
