Assessing the Electrical Energy Consumption for Designing and Developing an Energy Management System in an Educational Building in Romania

The building sector along with more and more inside or nearby-supplied EV mobility are a key pillar in the efforts of decarbonisation and achieving a Net Zero Emissions scenario by 2050 and even earlier. Without immediate action in the energy management and control automated systems, the building sector will not align with the decarbonisation goals. Energy management systems play a crucial role in managing energy usage and rely on forecasting algorithms and energy management schemes. A case study on a demo site pilot was conducted on the main building of the Faculty of Building Engineering Services at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The study aims to assess electrical energy consumption and bidirectional flows, and to identify key correlations between factors, using multilinear regression as well as consumption pattern identification. Two scenarios are proposed and assessed.
