Factsheet Energy Breakdown - Environment

PEOPLEPRACTICESSYSTEMS1 HVAC HESS Heating, Ventilation & Air-Conditioning High Efficiency Systems Strategy September 2013 Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is generally responsible for a significant proportion of total building Energy consumption . A typical system accounts for approximately 40% of total building consumption and 70% of base building ( landlord) consumption . The pie graph in Figure 1 shows the typical Energy consumption Breakdown of an office building, being 39% HVAC, 25% lighting, 22% equipment, 4% lifts, 1% domestic hot water and 9% 1: Typical Energy consumption Breakdown in an office building1 There are a number of key end uses in HVAC systems. The bar graph in Figure 2 shows the typical end use Breakdown , including:` Fans for air circulation and ventilation account for 34% of HVAC Energy consumption ` Cooling, most frequently the Energy use of chillers for the production of cooling via chilled water, but also the use of direct expansion cooling systems such as packaged air-conditioners, accounts for 27% of consumption ` Heating, most frequently the Energy use of boilers for the production of hot water for heating, but also the use of electric heater

consumption ` P umps for the circulation of hot water, chilled water and condenser water, account for 16% of consumption ` C ooling towers for heat rejection, being primarily the cooling tower fan energy, account for 6% of consumption. Figure 2: Typical HVAC end use breakdown. 1 The above breakdown of HVAC energy use is a national average.
