English abstract:
There are major differences between the comparisons of energy-consumption patterns, and using standard data, it is difficult to obtain the correct results especially for office buildings. It is possible to calculate the effects of different components on the total energy use in office buildings after detailed data is collected and interpreted in a simulation so that the results are easy to comprehend.
This paper illustrates the impact of outdoor climate, lifestyle and presence probability on the total energy use in office buildings using a real case study. The results of the probabilistic calculations, in comparison to the measurement and the simulation are
quite good. See the paper, "Total Energy Use in Office Buildings - Part 1". Only the total energy consumption of the building equipment was adapted to the measured data.
Other results of these investigations show that the outdoor climate, as well as lifestyle and occupant activities have an enormous influence on the energy consumption of office buildings.
