Abstract
Exploring the underlying driving factors of building energy consumption(BEC) can provide advices for future policy making. The purpose of this paper is to adopt Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to analyze a decomposition of BEC in Chongqing during the study time 2000–2014. The research results have shown that the behavior effect is the most significant factor of increasing BEC in Chongqing. It has also found that the floor area effect, urbanization rate effect and population effect also have a positive impact on increasing BEC. However, the energy efficiency effect has had a dampening impact on BEC. Finally, we suggest that “a low-carbon lifestyle” is an effective way to control the future increasing of BEC both in the urban and rural region in Chongqing.
