SURVEY OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION CHARACTERISTICS ON LARGE-SCALE UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES BEFORE AND AFTER THE SPREAD OF COVID-19

Abstract

In energy saving operation of buildings, it is important to understand the energy consumption characteristics of university campuses in order to formulate specific energy saving plans. Due to COVID-19 expansion, it is assumed that infection prevention measures such as behavior change of students and ventilation are affecting the energy consumption characteristics. It is necessary to understand the energy consumption characteristics that have changed from the conventional ones. In this study, we analyzed energy consumption data on Meiji university campuses for the three years from 2019 to 2021. we clarify the energy consumption characteristics that have changed due to COVID-19 expansion.
