ENERGY SAVINGS FOR RESIDENTIAL HEATING IN TWO PAIRS OF BUILDINGS IN NEW BELGRADE ACHIEVED BY MEASURING ACTUALLY CONSUMED ENERGY

Abstract

The paper presents results of heating energy consumption measurements in two pairs of buildings in New Belgrade for two heating seasons. Influence of these measurements on energy savings is also presented. The measurements were carried out during heating seasons 2002/03 and 2003/04 in buildings in Block 34 and 63 in New Belgrade, connected to the district heating system "Beogradske elektrane". The buildings in each pair have had similar architectural and thermal characteristics. One of the buildings in a pair was "test" building and the other "control" one. In the "test" building the energy consumption for heating of each apartment was measured, as well as total energy consumption for the whole building in the substation. Occupants were able to regulate the heating system. In the "control" building the energy consumption was measured only for the whole building, and occupants had almost no impact on heating energy consumption. The comparison of energy consumption for heating in the "test" and "control" buildings is given in the paper, as well as analysis of the influence of energy consumption measurements on the achieved energy savings.
