Abstrakt: The aim of the study is to analyse energy consumption for heating in set of the school buildings. Data analysis includes three data sets – predictions from energy performance certificates (EPC), measured data from heat meters and measured climate corrected data. Data sets were statistically checked and processed and represented graphically. The actual energy consumption differs from the one stated in the EPCs in all cases, which means that schools consume on average 15 % more energy than it is stated in the EPC. Overall, the data reveal that the actual energy consumption differs from the theoretical consumption, with all schools having higher actual consumption than the theoretical values. The differences in the data sets are discussed, and possible improvements are suggested taking into account strong relation between energy consumption and indoor air quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
