The Improvement for Thermal Insulation Properties of Traditional Residential Building Envelope in the North Region of Shanxi Province

Abstract:

Taking the traditional residence of old Guangwu Village in Shuozhou City for example, this paper launched a special study on energy efficiency of the building envelope in traditional residential buildings in north region of Shanxi province on the basis of the field investigation. A method for improving the thermal insulation properties of traditional residential building envelope is introduced through the calculation of the indexes of building heat consumption and the coal consumption for heating. Comparing thermal performance and indoor thermal environment before and after the improvement of traditional residential building envelope, the simulation result will also be produced by Autodesk Ecotect Analysis, which offered the basic data and theoretical foundation for the sustainable development of traditional residential buildings in north region of Shanxi Province.
