Relationship between Energy Consumption and Service Level: A Survey of Class a Office Buildings in Shanghai

Abstract:

There has been a boom of Class A office buildings in Shanghai in recent years. Due to the high requirements of indoor environment in Class A office buildings, these buildings typically consume larger energy than other office buildings. To have a picture of how these buildings perform in terms of energy, a survey was conducted recently. This survey was targeted at investigating monthly energy consumption, occupancy rate, and Indoor Environment Quality of twenty Class A office buildings in Shanghai in two consecutive years (2009 and 2010). The results show that average energy consumption intensity of surveyed buildings amounts 230.52 kWh/m2. The energy consumption intensity of the base section (including energy use for public services) is about two times higher than that of the tenant section (energy use in tenant space), suggesting that base section has larger energy saving potential than tenant section. The results also indicate that energy consumption of Class A office buildings has no direct relationship with occupancy rate and IEQ. However, the LEED certified green buildings do bring higher rent in average to building owners.
