This paper presents an investigation of the energy performance in an office building in Daejeon, Korea The office building has a south-facing glazed double-envelope and a rectangular atrium. During the preliminary design of the building, a study was conducted by the research team in order to achieve the annual energy consumption per unit area of the building under 240 Mcal/m2-yr. A number of building designs and HVAC system variables were analyzed in terms of energy performance. Finally, the energy performance of the building was evaluated by comparing with a typical office building.
The case office building shows an annual energy consumption of 209.6 Mcal/m2-yr, which is much less than the target value. It also shows the annual energy consumption of the case office building is less than the typical office building of same size in Korea.
