IDENTIFYING SMALL BUILDING TYPES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR MICROPROCESSOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

Figure 1-1 shows the planning approach taken to complete this task. The analysis of small Federally-owned buildings showed thac housing, service, storage, and office buildings accounted for over 80 percent of the buildings under 200,000 square feet. These buildings were then sorted by type, location (climate zone), and age so that the energy use patterns could be determined.nAn analysis was made of the types of energy use systems commonly used in the selected building types to determine where end to what extent energy use could be reduced with an energy management system. The appropriate monitor and control points were determined and an estimate of the potential energy savings was made for both Federally-owned buildings and their private sector counterparts.
