This paper analyzes the energy status and energy saving measures of the universities in the world based on the current situation of building energy consumption, compares the data including energy consumption per unit area, electric energy consumption per unit area, energy consumption per capita, electric energy consumption per capita and carbon emission per capita. The characteristics of building energy consumption in universities are summarized which can provide the basis for energy saving measures and the development of carbon reduction plan.
