Abstract

Recently, research is being conducted from various perspectives at home and abroad to reduce greenhouse gases, a major problem of global warming and climate change. One of the main causes of greenhouse gases is the energy used in buildings. There are various tools for diagnosing such energy usage, and this study proposes a method for diagnosing the energy usage level of a building using an energy benchmarking model. This energy benchmarking model diagnoses the level of a building using an energy usage database that integrates the electrical energy and gas energy used in the building after converting them into primary energy, and a quantile regression model based on LightGBM (one of the gradient boosting techniques). do. In this study, we used building property information, energy consumption, and meteorological data from 13,006 buildings for which data was pre-processed for senior welfare facilities (senior homes, nursing homes, etc.) located in Korea. This model derives highly user-accessible estimates of building energy performance, facilitating comparison of energy use between the diagnosed building and similar buildings. This model is considered to be a useful reference when reducing building energy use and planning environmentally friendly buildings in the future.
