The purpose of this study was to analyze the energy consumption according to the HVAC systems in 122 elementary schools. To do this, we classified schools according to the HVAC systems. Selected schools were classified to the following groups by the HVAC equipments: EHP, EHP and GHP together and GHP. In addition we divided schools by the number of classes. The main results are as follow:
1) Annual average energy consumption at schools was about 300~900(kWh/students), 30~50 (kWh/㎡), 9,000~29,000((kWh/class)
2) The smaller schools, the higher the energy consumption per class; energy usage of 10~19 classes’s schools were approximately 3 times higher than 40 classes’s schools.
3) Schools where the EHP was installed had the lowest energy costs and energy usage. The difference in energy costs was lower than the difference in energy usage because of the fuel price and the ratio of energy sources.
