With the development of sustainable concepts and zero-energy buildings, improving the energy efficiency of the overall operation phase of the building has an increasing impact on reducing energy consumption. Currently, most studies lack the analysis of key influencing factors of building energy efficiency evaluation, and thus cannot provide specific suggestions for the building energy efficiency. This paper aims to comprehensively evaluate the energy efficiency of the operation stage, which accounts for the largest proportion of the whole building life cycle, and conduct a sensitivity analysis on various subsystems and equipment of building energy systems to find the key factors and hurdles that affect the improvement of the energy efficiency. This work will provide specific suggestions for the energy performance diagnosis and renovation of existing buildings in China, and is of great significance to comprehensively evaluating highconsumption building equipment and improving the overall building quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
