Abstract

Greenhouse Gas emission from high-rise buildings has been increasing mainly due to excessive energy consumption of the HVAC system, structural system and electrical system. Electricity consumption for pump system accounts for 15% of total electricity usage in building. Therefore the reduction of electricity in operation is crucial to the overall reduction of GHGs in urban areas. In this study, a lab-scale experiment was conducted to test the electricity consumption in applying different design approaches; the energy efficiency of the system was calculated. Finally, this study proposes the advanced water supply design scheme to reduce electricity consumption of the pump system.
