Research on Rural Vernacular House Energy Efficiency in NingXia Hui Autonomous Region

Abstract:

The traditional local-style dwelling houses are investigated and the energy consumption of exterior-protected constructions is analyzed in Ningxia, aiming to improve the rural vernacular indoor thermal conditions in winter and achieve the energy-saving objective 65%. Meanwhile, the vulnerable spot of building energy consumption is found. Starting from the architectural function and space organization, solar-energy resources using and exterior-protected construction and so on, the integrated scheme improvement is put forward under the local natural climate and economic conditions. In addition, we deal with the tests of new scheme thermal engineering performance and indoor thermal environmental quality through the analysis of energy consumption. Finally, it is demonstrated that by reasonable design, the rural vernacular building in Ningxia can improve indoor thermal comfort and energy saving goal.
