Analysis of Factors Affecting Air Conditioning Energy Consumption in of Hotel Buildings in the Shanghai Region Area
Clarifying the determinants of energy consumption in hotel buildings forms a critical cornerstone for advancing energy efficiency initiatives in this sector.In this context,the present study delves into the design parameters of emblematic hotels in the Shanghai area.Additionally,the study incorporates an examination of the prevalent heating and cooling sources in hotel buildings,alongside the lighting power density.It also factors in the variability of indoor environmental conditions and service standards distinguished by the hotels'star ratings.Leveraging energy consumption simula-tion software,the research employs orthogonal experimental methods for a sensitivity analysis of the aforementioned parameters.The findings reveal that the following six design parameters elements exert a considerable influence on the annual cumulative energy consumption,ranked in descending order of impact:indoor environmental quality,window-to-wall ratio,lighting power density,height between floorsof the building,energy efficiency of heating and cooling sources,and the level of service provision.The identification and prioritization of these influential factors are pivotal,offering substantive guidance for the energy-efficient design of hotel buildings specifically in the Shanghai region.
