Abstract

In order to achieve further energy savings in buildings, it is essential to accurately clarify the actual situation between energy saving performance and building envelope and equipment design specification followed by taking effective policy measures. In previous surveys, highly reliable information on energy consumption has been collected through the use of detailed statements of utility bills, but in most cases only an overview of the building envelope and equipment design specifications has been interviewed due to the high level of expertise required of the respondents. Therefore, the details of the design specifications are unclear.
