According to statistics and field investigation, analyses of the energy consumption (EC) level are on the basis of three low-energy office building cases. These cases locate in three typical cities of different climate zones (North China region-Cold zone, East China region-Hot summer and cold winter zone, South China region-Hot summer and warm winter zone) in China. In conclusions, the energy consumption index (ECI) of these three cases is between 41.06~65.7 kWh/(m2•a). The percentage of EC used for cooling is more than 26.43%, and the outdoor climate conditions influence the total EC level of the whole building.

Low Energy Buildings

Passivhaus or Passive House buildings are low-energy buildings in which the design is driven by quality and comfort, hence achieving acceptable levels of comfort through post-heating or post-cooling of fresh air. Additionally, Passivhaus building design follows the Passivhaus design criteria, as described in the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP). This article aims to introduce the Passivhaus background, development, and basic design principles. Finally, it also presents a brief description of the performance of Passivhaus buildings.
