新北市鶯歌陶瓷博物館建築能源模擬研究

Abstract

本研究以新北市立鶯歌陶瓷博物館為對象，運用eQUEST 3.65模擬軟體進行建築能源模擬，探討既有公共建築之能源使用現況與節能潛力。研究首先針對陶博館之建築結構、窗戶配置及空調系統等條件進行建模，並透過誤差分析進行兩階段模型修正，使模擬結果更貼近實際能耗。模擬結果顯示，陶博館的冷氣用電與照明用電為主要耗能來源，各自佔據全年用電的約28%，為節能改善的重要方向。隨後本研究提出了四項節能效率措施。分別為：改善玻璃與天窗隔熱效果、提升空調系統效率、調整冷暖空調設定溫度及降低照明負載，模擬其實施前後能耗差異。結果顯示各項方案皆具節電效益，其中以改善玻璃與天窗隔熱效果最為顯著，約可節省7%的年度用電。若四項措施同時實施，年節電率可達19.90%，相當於每年節省約242,750度電。本研究亦針對各項節能策略的實施成本進行初步估算，結果顯示，張貼Low-E隔熱紙與更換冰水主機的成本高昂，較難受決策支持；而調整空調設定溫度與改善照明負載則可在3年內回收投資成本，屬於兼具低成本與高效益之方案。可見BEM技術不僅可提升更精準的建築改善方案與評估效率，也有助於公部門建築主動導入節能作為，帶動全民綠建築實踐與永續發展，以期作為其他建築推動節能改造之參考依據。This study focuses on the New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum and employs the eQUEST 3.65 simulation software to conduct building energy modeling (BEM), aiming to assess the current energy usage and energy-saving potential of existing public buildings. A detailed model was developed based on the museum’s architectural structure, window configurations, and HVAC systems. A two-stage model calibration was performed using error analysis to align the simulation results more closely with actual energy consumption. The results revealed that air conditioning and lighting were the primary sources of energy consumption, each accounting for approximately 28% of the museum’s annual electricity use, indicating critical areas for energy efficiency improvement.Four energy efficiency measures (EEMs) were proposed in this study: enhancing the thermal performance of glass and skylights, improving HVAC system efficiency, adjusting heating and cooling temperature settings, and reducing lighting loads. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the energy differences before and after the implementation of each measure. All proposed measures demonstrated notable energy-saving effects, with the improvement of glass and skylight insulation achieving the most significant reduction—approximately 7% of annual electricity consumption. When all four measures were implemented simultaneously, the total electricity savings reached 19.90%, equivalent to about 242,750 kWh per year.This study also conducted a preliminary cost analysis of each EEM. The results indicated that installing Low-E insulation film and replacing the chiller system required relatively high investments and may be difficult to justify from a decision-making perspective. In contrast, adjusting HVAC temperature settings and improving lighting loads could recover their costs within three years, making them low-cost and high-benefit strategies. This research demonstrates that BEM technology not only enhances the accuracy and efficiency of building improvement planning and evaluation but also encourages public institutions to actively implement energy-saving initiatives. The findings may serve as a reference for promoting energy retrofit projects in other buildings, thereby supporting the broader goals of green building practices and sustainable development.
