The impact of minimum OTTV legislation on building energy consumption
As a measure of building envelope performance, Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) has been regulated in
many countries and regions in the world, while little research is done to evaluate its city-scale effect with energy
consumption. In this paper, we develop an econometric energy epidemiology model to evaluate the impact of
OTTV legislations on electricity consumption using Hong Kong as an example, as Hong Kong government is one
of the first adopters of OTTV regulation. For this purpose, we construct a unique database on the energy consumption
of residential and commercial buildings in Hong Kong, including 39092 buildings from 1982 to 2016.
Noticeable contributions to the total building energy saving could be found from historical OTTV legislations by
2016. As predicted by the model, in 2030, the annual electricity reduction can reach approximately 20000TJ
without further regulation amendment, which is an important support to the “HK3030” energy target.
