And here is the average energy cost per square meter. Compared to a benchmark, this is relatively good, but could be better in terms of efficiency.
The following indicate a list of graphs denoting how various options can either raise of lower overall energy costs.
HVAC - this graph denotes how different climate control tech can lower general operational cost. This does not consider cost of purchasing said equipment.
Lighting Efficiency - this denotes options of electric lighting power consumption per floor area, and their relative effect on overall cost.
Operating Schedule - this denotes how setting each operating schedule would impact operating costs. Being a public building, there isn't much freedom in choice here.
Plug Load Efficiency - this is entirely determinate on external purchased equipment and their power consumption.
Finally, here are graphs denoting how changing different glass property options can bring down HVAC costs in the top four. In the bottom four graphs, there lies an illustration of how different shading possibilities can also bring down costs.
