ANALYSIS OF ENERGY SAVINGS BY IMPROVING HOUSE EQUIPMENT

Abstract

Year-round measurement was performed under actual living environment in a zero-energy house built in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, in 2009. We continuously measured the energy consumption and monitored the thermal condition under an actual living environment to realize a zero-energy house. The energy consumption according to usages such as heating and hot-water supply was analyzed, and the influence of the equipment operating trend of the residents on the energy consumption was verified. By observing the energy-consumption trend, countermeasures were taken to confirm that the energy
