| Abstract: | Evaluation of building energy performance has always been a hot issue in building services engineering. A variety of factors are taken into consideration for benchmarking purposes, such as climate, floor area, number of occupants, and the equipment density. No matter in any methods, these factors are weighted in different degree to calculate an output, generally, in terms of Energy Utilization Index (EUI). This dissertation display an energy performance assessment and comparative analysis between the two hostels in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hum hall and Ho Man Tin hall. Both building locate in within 15 mins of walking distance from the school campus, and each possess twenty storey and share similar design features. The research mainly focused on the electricity usage, there are electric sub-metering system operating in the facilities. Providing the monthly electricity usage of the building for further analysis. After acquiring the building information such as gross floor area, the EUI is calculated and considered as an important parameters through this research. To obtain a more comprehensive assessment, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is also applied, computing the relative efficiency between each data entry. Sample under investigation constituted of the monthly EUI as the response and circumstantial factors such as climate and building information as the inputs. According to the final evaluation, it is found out that the Hung Hum Hall is actually more energy efficient than Ho Man Tin. |
