The energy consumption of the public buildings in Osaka, Japan

The aim of this research work is to investigate the actual energy consumption in existing public buildings and to obtain the basic data for energy conservation of these buildings. Various monthly energy consumption data of public buildings in Osaka for the period from April 2000 to March 2002 was gathered and analyzed to determine the nature of the energy consumption of buildings. One of the investigated buildings is selected as the typical building and the heat load is calculated. The calculated values of the energy consumption are compared with the investigation values.
