An Analysis of the Seasonal Energy Consumption of Culture and Education Comprehensive Building

Through a comparative analysis, this paper attempts to summarize the hourly variations of the total energy consumptions and itemized energy consumptions in a culture and education comprehensive building in summer, winter, and the transitional season. The results show a great difference in energy consumptions in the same building in different seasons. Energy consumption is highest in winter. There is a minor difference in energy consumptions between a typical day in summer vacation and a normal work day in summer. The lowest energy consumption is in winter vacation, but a typical day in winter vacation would still consume about half of the energy consumed on a normal working day in winter.
