本論文は、建築設備工学におけるベンチマーク（特に電力密度値）の適用に関する文献レビューである。ベンチマークは設計初期段階で設備需要を推定するために広く使われるが、データ信頼性や過小・過大設計のリスクなどの限界を指摘。持続可能性目標（ネットゼロ）への適合の必要性を論じ、適応的でデータ駆動型の手法の重要性を提言する。
English
This paper critically reviews benchmarks (e.g., power density values) in building services engineering. While benchmarks are essential for early-stage design, limitations such as data reliability, oversizing/undersizing risks, and misalignment with net-zero targets are identified. The review calls for adaptive, data-driven methods to support low-carbon building design.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper presents a critical review of current literature on the application of benchmarks in building services engineering, with emphasis on electrical supply requirements. Benchmarks, typically expressed as power density values (W/m²), are widely used in early-stage design to estimate infrastructure demand where detailed system information is unavailable. While this approach enables efficient and timely design development, the literature highlights several limitations related to data reliability, oversimplification, and applicability to diverse building typologies. Key challenges include the risk of over- or under-sizing infrastructure, leading to increased capital costs, inefficient spatial allocation, and higher operational expenses. Additionally, discrepancies between benchmark assumptions and actual building performance are identified, particularly in the context of evolving technologies, occupancy patterns, and energy demands. The review also highlights constraints in adopting alternative, more detailed load assessment methods due to practical limitations in time and available information during design stages. Furthermore, concerns are raised regarding the alignment of traditional benchmarking practices with contemporary sustainability objectives, including net-zero carbon targets. The paper concludes that, while benchmarks remain essential, there is a need for more adaptive, data-driven methodologies that better reflect real-world performance and support efficient, low-carbon building design.
