Analysis of Influencing Factors on the Complete Energy Consumption of Construction Industry Based on Input-Output Analysis

The construction industry has direct impacts on many high-energy consuming sectors, which is one of the most influential sectors to national energy consumption. Based on the input-output model and comparable price input-output tables, this paper analyzes impacts of the direct energy intensity, the level of economic development, intermediate demand, population and the industrial structure on the complete energy consumption by using the structural decomposition method. The results show the macro factors including economic development and energy efficiency have the most impact on complete energy consumption.
