A STUDY ON ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF COMMON SPACE IN HIGH-RISE MULTIPLE DWELLING HOUSES

Abstract

Many investigations have been performed concerning energy consumption of individual households. However, there are few surveys on energy use of common equipment in multiple dwelling houses. The purpose of this study was to clarify the energy consumption characteristics of common equipment in multiple dwelling houses. We measured the electric energy consumption of common equipment such as common space lighting units, elevators, water pumps and domestic waste water treatment units at 4 high-rise multiple dwelling houses in the Tokai district. We presented the annual and daily variation in electric power consumption of each usage.
