Estimation method of heating load index of actual heating area considering occupancy rate

The energy crisis is becoming increasingly severe, and central heating in northern China has become the focus of energy conservation and emission reduction. Taking the energy consumption in the operation and maintenance of central heating as the starting point, through the comparative analysis of multiple sets of data, the relationship between the occupancy rate of residential buildings and the proportion of typical households and the heating load index of actual heating area is explored, and it is found that the occupancy rate is negatively correlated with the heating load index of actual heating area, and the heat transfer between the households of typical households has an important impact on the heating load index. Two methods of estimating the heating load index of actual heating area are proposed, which can be used as the guiding basis for the initial operation and commissioning of heating operation and maintenance companies.
