Current Situation of Energy and Indoor Environment in Rural Buildings of Northeast China

Abstract:

Due to the low levels of the design and construction technology in the countryside of northern cold region, energy consumption and indoor environment in rural residential buildings cannot be controlled effectively, which becomes one of the most prominent problems in rural energy efficiency and emission reduction. To learn the present situation of energy consumption and indoor environment in rural buildings, this paper adopts the method of field investigation and data analysis to analyze the building envelopes situation and the energy structure. Besides, indoor temperature and humidity field test and pollutant concentration test are carried out in heating period. Summarizing the problems and analyzing the reasons for the high energy consumption poor indoor environment, improvement strategies are put forward. The result will supply technical support for rural residential energy consumption and indoor comfort of rural residential buildings in the cold regions.
