“…Thus, the sense of energy saving is relatively weak, leading to excessive resource consumption. Office buildings usually are with greater lighting requirements, larger number of equipment, and lower energy consumption of air conditioning than that for hotels (Zhang et al., 2012). Therefore, the office buildings are found to be second to hotels in terms of EUI as reported by this study and previous studies (e.g., Ding & Liu, 2020).…”

Several studies have reported scaling relationships for energy consumption with respect to city size and other indicators. However, such scaling relationships have rarely been reported at the suburban level. This study explored the scaling relationships between energy use (EU) and building size (gross floor area [GFA]) at the building level in 16 urban regions in the United States from 2011 to 2019. We found that the scaling exponents of most of the examined regions changed from either super‐linear or sub‐linear to linear (β = 1) over the years. The scaling exponents of some cities (e.g., New York City) fluctuated around 1. These scaling exponents are negatively correlated with regional climate. This study reports that the scaling relationships between energy consumption and GFA at the building level in heterogeneous cities are evolving toward linear scaling. This study also found that different building types and building energy structures significantly impact building energy consumption. Hotels in New York City had the highest scaling exponent (β = 1.02), and strong correlations were observed between the scaling exponents and the share of electricity in building EU. These insights reveal the common nature of the relationships between building EU and GFA and the intersections between scaling exponents and building attributes. Our study highlights the importance of energy efficiency management in hotels and electricity‐dominated buildings.

“…The monitoring of sockets and lighting system is an important way to reduce building energy consumption. Synthesize 7 main factors such as climate, building-related characteristics, user-related characteristics except for social and economic factors, building services systems and operation, building occupants' behavior and activities, social and economic factors, and indoor environmental quality required which affects the construction energy consumption [5], energy consumption is divided into 3 categories: construction equipment energy consumption, building envelope energy consumption, staff behavior energy consumption [6]. In recent years, many researchers analyzed the influence factors of building energy consumption behavior by using smart meters or special monitoring instrument to itemize meter all kinds of equipment and facility energy consumption [7][8][9].…”

Behavior energy consumption is getting more attention in building energy consumption field. To distinguish the energy behavior related to sockets, a new smart socket was designed and many electrical parameters can be acquired in high frequency. This socket supports remote control, and it supports TCP protocol to send data to specific data concentrator wirelessly. The socket also based on the NTP service realizes time synchronization. Effective collection of high frequency socket electrical data with time label make identification of socket and lighting system energy behavior which is important in intelligent building and large public building possible.
