Influence Study of Energy Consumption in Different Flats of a High Residential Building in North Part of China

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, a high level residential building, Building 1 (Block 1) of Qingheju low-rent community in Jinan, China is used as case for studying energy performance in its different flats under different conditions (levels, positions, opening directions, etc.). IES Virtual Environment (IES VE) is applied as main tool of simulating the building energy performance. The result reveals that flats at lower level, flats on the east side, flats with less area of external walls and openings can save more energy in both cooling and heating in this area.
