Abstract: Building energy consumption accounts for approximate one-third of the total energy consumption in China, and it is projected to increase with the improvement of urbanization level. Due to the building energy consumption is closely related to outdoor meteorological conditions, the scientific, timely and accurate meteorological services are particularly essential to the building energy efficiency. The present paper introduces the requirements of the building energy efficiency for meteorological services, and summarizes the related research progress, then puts forward the prospect of meteorological services for building energy efficiency. This study aims to provide useful information about meteorological service for building energy efficiency in the future.
