An analytical study on the influencing factors of building energy consumption based on the VAR model

SHI Taijia

Abstract


In order to promote urban energy conservation and emission reduction, expand the scale of green building development, and explore the key influencing factors of building energy consumption, this paper establishes a vector autoregressive (VAR) model based on annual
time-series data from 2004-2021 through Eviews 11.0 software, and applies the unit root test, impulse response function, and variance decomposition to carry out empirical analyses to quantitatively study the development status of building energy consumption. The study found
that the total number of people and the income of the residents are not the same. The study found that the increase of total population and the
level of residents‘ income both promote the growth of building energy consumption, and the degree of influence of total population accounts
for 34%, and the level of residents’ income accounts for 27%.
