A review on buildings energy consumption in Russia: educational buildings

Abstract

To understand the importance of implementing energy-saving technologies in educational buildings, it is necessary to assess current energy consumption. The main goal of the article is to show the level of energy consumption of educational buildings in Russia. The main method of the study is to collect information from various sources and to analyze it in order to identify the factors that have the greatest impact on the volume of energy consumption. The collected information for Federal districts is compared with each other, and the average data for Russia is compared with figures for similar buildings in the European Union and North America. A comparison of the resulting data for the Federal districts of Russia shows that climate is one of the most important factors affecting energy consumption. As a result, according to different estimates, the total energy consumption in educational buildings is from 240 to 400 kWh/m2. It is one of the highest in comparison with developed countries of the European Union and North America.

Development of a Coupled EnergyPlus-MATLAB Simulation Based on LSTM for Predictive Control of HVAC System

“…Building energy consumption accounts for about 40% of the global total energy consumption and is expected to reach about 50% by 2030 [1,2]. Recent research proved that dynamic temperature control can be employed in HVAC systems according to building characteristics and outdoor environment to avoid unnecessary energy waste [3,4], especially in seasonal variation period [5].…”

The Analysis of Multi-Apartment Residential Buildings Energy Consumption in Russia

“…Unfortunately, these indicators are too generalized. For example, they includes the cost of transporting energy, which in the case of thermal energy can reach 20% (10 % on average in Russia) of the actual cost of the building [1]. Nevertheless, they are quite revealing.…”
