Abstract The paper presents different kinds of optimization scheme of air-condition system based on equipment technologies and variable parameters in Guangzhou. Coefficients of performance (COP) and energy efficiency of rate (EER) are the main index of air-condition system. The results show that the percentage of optimized air-condition systems are of different weight ratio based on analytic hierarchy process method. Pump and compressor frequency conversion technologies and higher indoor temperature are the main energy efficiency measurements for air-condition system. The results provide a new methodology for evaluating the air conditioning system construction. © 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction Air-condition energy consumption accounts for 30% -60% of building energy consumption based on testing of hotel and supermarket in Beijing [1-2]. The building energy consumption includes the envelope heat losses; air-condition electricity consumption and lighting energy consumption. The energy saving potential of air-condition system is evaluated by testing and numerical calculation in China [3-4]. However, there are some problems of air-condition system, such as unreasonable design system, low efficiency of COP and irregular management [5-6].

3. Evaluation methodology and model analysis 3.1. Analytic hierarchy process There are seven optimized schemes of air-condition system, which need to be evaluated comprehensively and objectively based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP includes four steps. ķ Build the hierarchical model. Model the problem as a hierarchy containing the decision goal, the alternatives for reaching it, and the criteria for evaluating the alternatives. ĸ Build judgment matrix. Establish priorities among the elements of the hierarchy by making a series of judgments based on pairwise comparisons of the elements. Nine-digit percentage of the scale is set up when making comparison between two elements. Table 4 gives the value of scale for comparing two elements. Table 4.

When C.R <0.10, it is considered that the consistency of judgment matrix is acceptable, otherwise some changes have to be adjusted for the judgments matrix. ĺ Come to a final decision based on the results of this process. Arrange the order of the elements according the factors weight. 3.2. Model analysis Figure 3 shows the evaluated model of central air-condition system using AHP. The top layer of model is to select an optimal central air-condition system; the middle layer of model is the guideline of the system, which includes economics, energy saving potential and CO2 emission; the bottom layer of model is the seven optimized schemes.
