Impacts of Building Microenvironment on Energy Consumption in Office Buildings: Empirical Evidence from the Government Office Buildings in Guangdong Province, China

Social progress and economic development has resulted in the need to focus on impacts of building microenvironment energy consumption office buildings. The concept a building’s was introduced understand local microclimate around that is formed by surrounding urban green spaces, distribution roads, proximity. For this research, we adopted regression analysis quantify Taking government buildings Guangdong Province as an example, measured through space density, road number points interest (POI) results showed when density increased one unit, reduced 0.277%. Moreover, increase 1% POI 0.288% 0.048%, respectively. Furthermore, discussed heterogeneous at varying scale levels. Green had less impact larger buildings, whereas no significant small-scale but did have large-scale There were also some limitations study. data limited not include panel data, well it lacked characteristics such orientation, floor height, materials. In addition, impossible evaluate meteorological factors wind speed thermal radiation Nonetheless, our study demonstrates energy-aware planning design potential unlock efficiency for cities worldwide.
