Abstract

As commercial transportation complexes, expressway service buildings have large passenger flow and a poor energy-saving effect, and have become the focus of energy conservation and emissions reduction efforts in the transportation field. At the same time, the particularity of the function determines that it is within the scope of no municipal supporting facilities, which renders them typical energy island-type buildings. This paper takes the expressway service buildings in a cold area as the research object, and carries out the correlation and partial correlation analysis of the factors influencing the operating energy consumption of the air-conditioning system. For the analysis of factors affecting the energy consumption of expressway service buildings during the operation period, considering that most of the service buildings are in the form of heating and cooling air conditioners, this paper chooses to represent the “refrigeration period” with a more obvious degree of influence. At the same time, during the operation period, because the ontological characteristics have been determined according to the analysis results, the outdoor meteorological characteristics are the main factors affecting the energy consumption of expressway service buildings. These include the dry bulb temperature and horizontal plane solar irradiance index, as well as the indoor comprehensive environment parameters: temperature, CO 2 concentration index, indoor personnel density index. Based on the above analysis, a low energy consumption operation strategy for the air-conditioning system is proposed. The results of this article are of great significance for the construction of energy consumption models for expressway service buildings and the adoption of low energy consumption strategies.
