Abstract

The paper describes an approach to find out appropriate objects based on a province wide inquiry in public buildings, predominantly schools, in about 600 municipalities in the province of Styria in Austria. A comparison of characteristic energy figures concerning electrical and heating energy is performed for about 150 schools in order to sort out those objects which have high total energy cost and high specific energy consumption as well. In a further step a detailed analysis is performed to find out the reasons for the high energy consumtion and the points for improvements of cost-effectiveness.
