Abstract：
Energy consumption of buildings is of great significance in the evaluation of green buildings, according to the National Evaluation Standard for Green Buildings (GB/T 50378—2006). Simulation software is commonly used for energy consumption prediction. As a massive commercial complex located entirely underground, Suzhou Taihu New Town Underground Project offers great challenge in terms of software selection and energy consumption simulation. IDA ICE from Sweden was deployed eventually for the whole-year dynamic simulation of the project. The result revealed that the energy saving rate is 78.37% in compliance with the requirement of Credit 5.2.16 (Energy saving rate of 80% and below). Lighting accounts for the greatest percentage of energy consumption in proposed building.
