从购物中心到办公楼，在感觉极度过冷的商业建筑中行走在美国几乎已经成为常态。在这篇简短的通讯中，我们估计了美国商业建筑过度冷却的成本。使用美国能源信息署（EIA）2012年的数据和能源部（DOE）eQuest软件包的模拟数据，我们计算出能源成本为103，929 GWh，环境成本为57，125 kt CO（2）e，财务成本为100亿美元，约占8%的损失。因此，过冷问题是一个巨大的问题，解决这个问题将节省大量的能源、环境和财务费用。(C)2015爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
From shopping malls to office buildings, walking in a commercial building that feels vastly over-cooled has become almost normal in the United States. In this short communication, we estimate the cost of over-cooling commercial buildings for the United States. Using 2012 data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) and simulating data with the Department of Energy's (DOE) eQuest software package, we calculated an energy cost of 103,929 GWh, an environmental cost of 57,125 kt CO(2)e, and a financial cost of $10B, which approximately represent a loss of 8%. The problem of over-cooling is therefore substantial and solving it would offer significant energy, environmental, and financial savings. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
