Thermal & Energy Consumption Analysis of New Sustainable Building Material Applied to Commercial Office Building in Beijing

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper aims to figure out whether or not the new sustainable building material mineral wool could save energy consumption from commercial office building. Professional software such as EnergyPlus, Google SketchUp was used to simulate the thermal and energy-saving effect of this new material. The final results show that after the application of mineral wool, 28.05% (114.23GJ) energy consumption is able to be saved by the large commercial office building located in Beijing, within which 88%(139.27GJ) heating could be reduced
