In large University Campuses, electricity and water uses are similar to those of medium-sized cities. The main goal of the paper is to address the diversity of activities and energy end-uses in a Campus, which can be considered as significant in their diversity as in a city where residential, commercial and industrial uses are present as well. Electricity and water uses on the campus of Bordeaux were studied, with support of both Electricity Utility and Regional Water Utility Commission. A method for demand analysis, based on ratings and benchmarking, is presented here with assessment of values to be used as a local reference.
Data analysis relies on metered data from measurement campaigns and electricity and water bills.
As implemented, the method takes into account the variety of activities and shows the relative share of major uses. Results reveal the interest of the method for the purpose of conservation potential assessment and Environmental Management System in University Campuses.
