Thermal Optimization Strategy of External Wall in Low-Rise Light Steel Keel Structure Based on the Theory of Thermal Bridge

Abstract:

Light steel keel structure is the most mature structure system in low-rise light steel structure residence. Exterior wall skeleton belongs to dense ribbed structure, so its thermal problems of exterior wall are more prominent. From light steel keel structure composition and exterior wall structure, based on the theory of thermal bridge, thermal performance of external wall is analyzed and thermal optimization measures of external wall in low-rise light steel keel structure are put forward. Specific measures are as follows: Firstly, finding the optimum balance point between the structure steel consumption and thermal performance; Secondly, punching in the steel skeleton webs to improve steel column; Thirdly, arranging the non-metal heat blocking between metal components; Finally, choosing external insulation system of outer wall. These measures are not only conducive to eliminate thermal adverse effects, but also can provide valuable theoretical basis for energy consumption analysis of low-rise light steel keel structure residence.
