Energy management' of educational facilities has become an important agenda for existing educational institutions in Taiwan, due to the governmental 'Energy Policy'. National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) is used as a case in this study to analyze its energy consumption status, to summarize its energy-saving schemes and projects it has conducted, and to conclude the strategies and critical energy management issues for existing educational facilities. This study has found that the annual electricity consumption and average energy usage intensity (EUI) of NTUST has grown to 25.5 million kWh/yr and 133.7 kWh/m2-yr (roughly 6% increase annually), and the EUIs of individual buildings have a large variance (63.6~220.1 kWh/m2-yr), indicating there are great varieties of electricity demands among different departments. In addition, NTUST has conducted six types of energy saving projects (management, enclosure, elevator, electricity, HVAC, and lighting systems). Finally, it's concluded that existing educational institutions need to resolve four major issues in order to achieve higher level of energy efficiency of their facilities: to establish comprehensive 'energy management system', to monitor or estimate the electricity consumption of individual departments, to build standard procedures of energy analysis capable of identifying reasonable energy consumption for individual departments, to set up a energy efficiency evaluation tool to compare energy efficiency among departments. |
