The Impact of People Flow on Summer Energy Consumption in a Tokyo Office Building Using a State Space Model Ryuta Tsurumi, Takahiro Yoshida

Abstract

We investigated the relationship between people flow and building energy consumption during the summer using a state-space model for an office building in Tokyo. We estimated the elasticity of people flow for the cooling heat load and the power consumption of outlets, water supply and drainage pumps, and air conditioning fans. The results provide insights that will be valuable for spatial downscaling to accurately understand the dynamics of energy consumption in individual buildings when the use of electricity data.
