Abstract Background: Numerical simulation has been used for assessing the process of outer environment performance calculations accurately. The ENVI-met has been used in studies in simulating the microclimate and energy cost in hot summer. On 27th November,2019, the latest ENVI-met v4.4.4 has been published, which is the first edition for forecasting the outdoor microclimate in winter, therefore, its accuracy is still needed to be discussed.Methods: This study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of the latest edition on the prediction of the thermal environment of courtyard and outdoor space in a traditional dwelling settlement in cold climate zone of northern China by means of validating the measured results against simulated results. Results: The final result shows a small deviation between simulated and measured results for assessing the microclimate in the research site. Conclusions: For this reason, the new ENVI-met v4.4.4 can be a reliable tool for forecasting the winter microclimate in northern China, and also this study also provides a basic database for improving resident’s thermal comfort in cold climate zone of China in future studies.

Reduction Strategies

Implementing China’s emission reduction regulations requires a design approach that integrates specific architectural and functional properties of railway stations with low greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. This article analyzes life cycle GHG emissions related to materials production, replacement and operational energy use to identify design drivers and reduction strategies implemented in high-speed railway station (HSRS) buildings. A typical middle-sized HSRS building in a cold climate zone in China is studied. A detailed methodology was proposed for the development and assessment of emission reduction strategies through life cycle assessment (LCA), combined with a building information model (BIM). The results reveal that operational emissions contribute the most to total GHG emissions, constituting approximately 81% while embodied material emissions constitute 19%, with 94 kgCO2eq/m2·a and 22 kgCO2eq/m2·a respectively. Optimizing space can reduce operational GHG emissions and service life extension of insulation materials contributes to a 15% reduction in embodied GHG emissions. In all three scenarios, the reduction potentials of space, envelope, and material type optimization were 28.2%, 13.1%, and 3.5% and that measures for reduced life cycle emissions should focus on space in the early stage of building design. This study addresses the research gap by investigating the life cycle GHG emissions from HSRS buildings and reduction strategies to help influence the design decisions of similar projects and large space public buildings which are critical for emission reduction on a larger scale.
