Building envelope loads and commercial sector electricity use in Hong Kong

Abstract

The overall thermal transfer value (OTTV) concept has been extended to correlate it with the chiller load through DOE-2 computer simulations. A survey of 83 commercial buildings completed between 1982 and 1992 indicates that about one-third of the existing building-envelope designs will not meet a proposed 35W/m2 OTTV limit, which will be introduced in late 1994. Impacts of this legislation on electricity use in the commercial sector are assessed.
