Testing Work

With the deepening of the energy conservation of the building, energy saving from the original design of building energy-saving gradually turned to the field detection and completion acceptance, which requires a corresponding energy-efficient means of detection. With the development of infrared technology, the combination of infrared technology and detection methods of building energy-saving, to further promote the development of building energy efficiency testing work. Compared to the traditional heat flow meter or hot-box method, infrared thermal imaging method has no effect on the measured object, detecting the surface temperature of quick reaction speed, accompanying with wide temperature range and high precision, is widely used in various fields of testing work, which has been particularly prominent in the thermal defect detection. In this paper, the method of infrared thermography is used to confirm whether the thermal defects exist in energy-saving construction or not. Testing results show that infrared thermography can accurately reflect the temperature distribution of building wall surface. Infrared thermal imaging to detect the building surface's energy efficiency, which is providing efficient and accurate means of detection for the evaluation of the building energy efficiency. This is to help carry out a comprehensive building energy-saving testing.

The constraints of resources and environment in China are more and more intense. The 12th Five-Year Plan requires that energy saving must be considered in the architectural design. Liangshan has special climate and sunshine. Therefore, the Government of Liangshan requires that building energy saving must be started from the stage of architectural design. Building energy efficiency must be considered from several aspects, such as architectural layout, wall structure, windows and doors, roof structure, external sun-shading, and construction materials.

This paper studies an interdisciplinary approach for improving smart energy systems, and, in particular, building energy efficiency. Currently, energy audit is the most widely used approach to improve building energy efficiency. Energy audit increases the building energy efficiency by identifying, analyzing and implementing energy saving opportunities in existing buildings. The procedure of existing energy audit approach is relatively standardized, and energy audit professionals usually refer to Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) checklists to determine opportunities for energy savings. In this context, this paper aims to improve the general energy audit process by integrating, adapting, and extending Design Innovation (DI) techniques which help to identify more energy saving opportunities beyond the existing energy audit checklists and deliver user-centered and disruptive innovative energy-saving solutions which are missing in the traditional energy audit procedure. The motivation, advantages, and the implementation procedure of selected DI approaches are explained separately. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism, an example of developing a smart energy system for a building testbed is given.
