Design Methodology Analysis: Design and Operational Energy Studies in a New High-Rise Office Building. Volume 2

摘要

Work on energy consumption in a large office building is reported, including the following tasks: (1) evaluating and testing the effectiveness of the existing ASHRAE 90-75 and 90-80 standards; (2) evaluating the effectiveness of the BEPS; (3) evaluating the effectiveness of some envelope and lighting design variables towards achieving the BEPS budgets; and (4) comparing the computer energy analysis technique, DOE-2.1, with manual calculation procedures. These tasks are the initial activities in the energy analysis of the Park Plaza Building and will serve as the basis for further understanding the results of ongoing data collection and analysis.
