 Based on the analysis of the existing research on building energy consumption at the provincial level, concludes three types of calculation models, including energy balance table disassembly and classification, sampling survey and multi-method integration. Puts forward an energy consumption calculation formula based on the split model of energy balance table, so that the sum of building energy consumption in each province equals to that the national building energy consumption. According to the calculation results of building energy consumption of 30 provinces and cities in 2015, obtains three main conclusions: 1) For every 10 000 yuan increase in per capita GDP, the per capita building energy consumption (standard coal) in cities and towns increases by 75 kg. 2) For every 1 000 yuan increase in the output value of the tertiary industry per unit area of public buildings, the power consumption increases by about 20 kWh. 3) For every 10 million increase in urban population, the power consumption of urban residential buildings increases by 5.86 billion kWh.
