Electricity consumption and efficiency measures in public buildings: A comprehensive review

Industrialization and the expansion of service sectors have led to a significant increase in electricity consumption. This rising demand has also been observed in public buildings, which account for a considerable share of total electrical energy use. Coupled with the upward trend in energy prices,...

The objective of this review is to compile studies that analyze electricity consumption in large public buildings, with a primary focus on universities, as well as works that propose or implement energy-saving measures aimed at reducing consumption.
