A.H. Elmahdy

The Standing Cornittee on Energy Conservation in Buildings is a t t e m p t i n g , on behalf of the National Research Council Associate Committee on

the

National B u i l d i n g Code, to d e f i n e appropriate energy cansmption targets f o r different classes of b u i l d i n g s , These are p a r t l y based on the energy consumption of existing buildings.

In

s u p p o r t of t h e work of the Standing C a m m i ttee, this report contains d a t a

on the annual energy consumption of apartment buildings. These b u i l d i n g s are located in various twns and c l t i e s in O n t a r i o and

Quebec.

Table Z provides a summary of the sample size, the average,

maximum and minima f l o o r areas and the energ)r consumpKion f o r t h e year in which the data were recorded, P l o t s of the energy consumptlan in ~ ~ / ' r n ~ ~ r . versus the b u i l d i n g area in

I&

are p r e s e n t e d in Figures 1

through 7; however, no attempt has been made to c o r r e l a t e the annual energy consumption data with other pertfnent variables. The vertical scale ta the r l g h t of _{these p l o t s shows t h e} frequency of occurrence

f o r

t h e corresponding energy c o n s m p t i o n bins l i s r e d o n t h e left-hand s i d e of each plot.

T a b l e s 2 through 7 provide complete l i s t i n g s of the data presented in t h i s report.

Although ehere w a s a slight r e d u c t i o n in the annual energy consumption of some of the O n t a r i o Housing apartment buildings between 1975 and

1978,

the cause of t h i s decline in annual energy consumption w a s not s p e c i f i e d . On t h e other hand, some of the other b u i l d i n g s in the same sample showed a small increase in annual energy consumption. These changes in energy c r r n s m p t i o n c o u l d be credited to one. or more of

t h e fallowing f a c t o r s : 1. weather changes;

2. degree of occupancy and vacancy within the b u i l d i n g s ;

3 . implementation of energy conservarion measures in t h e b u i l d i n g s .
