The study on the Energy Consumption of middle school facilities in Daegu, Korea

Abstract

Recently, Korea has upgraded the luminance standard of classrooms and started to introduce the air conditioning system in order to enhance pleasantness of the learning environment. In addition, as use of auxiliary equipment, such as TV, VTR and computer, is increasing and due to school meals, energy consumption is increasing in school facilities. Despite the increase of energy consumption of school facilities, however, it is difficult to find actual data on energy consumption. Therefore, in this study, the actual conditions of energy consumption are researched, and the relation between the facility area, the number of classes and students, and the cooling and heating facilities is analyzed. And then, the basic data required for energy-saving strategies at school facilities are prepared.
