Abstract The situation of high energy consumption in construction industry is becoming increasingly severe, which hinders the sustainable development of world economy, society and environment. Building energy conservation reconstruction is urgent. The long-term and effective promote of buildings energy conservation reconstruction depends on the market development. However, its external characteristics and public goods attributes determine it is necessity of implementing incentives. The incentives of the buildings energy conservation reconstruction market development not limited in policy incentives, involving multiple influencing factors, which are interrelated and complex systems engineering. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate many factors into a coordinated dynamic system. This paper uses literature analysis method and expert interview method to identify the factors that affect incentives of buildings energy conservation reconstruction market development. In this study, the incentive structure frameworks of incentive elements, incentive operation, incentive efficiency and incentive environment were constructed by using the whole and part research idea. Based on principle of dynamic feedback analysis, Vensiem PLE was used to respectively analysis the four subsystem causality diagrams, the dynamic feedback relationship among the influencing factors in each incentive subsystem were clarified. The results demonstrate that incentive goal consistency, inspire all links, incentive system integrity and market maturity are the key factors affecting the incentive effect of the whole system. Finally, some optimization suggestions on incentive mechanism are put forward to promote the buildings energy conservation reconstruction market development.

Building energy conservation has become the worldwide tendency since the mid-1970s. The Theory of Sustainable Development raised in 1990s as well as the deterioration of ecological environment made the building energy conservation became the international focus all over the world. China is a country with high energy consumption and large population and the percentage of its building energy consumption has reached about 25% on total energy consumption. The energy conservation condition of building external wall is one of the direct influencing factors of thermal comfort of indoor environment. However, greening is a kind of natural sunshade of the nature. The key to the study is how to improve the temperature of building walls and thermal comfort of indoor environment by the way of greening sunshade of external walls.

The study and design of energy conservation has gradually become a hot and key issue in architecture. One of the core contents of such concepts as green architecture, ecological architecture, sustainable architecture, organic architecture is how to reduce high energy consumption of buildings. The study of building energy conservation has been carried out in subjects of architectural thermal engineering and energy conservation for almost 30 years. The central and local governments have set up special management agencies and departments of building energy conservation; building research institutes at all levels and numerous universities have set up research institutions for study of building energy conservation and issued a series of policies and regulations and technical standards, which received an enthusiastic response from industrial circles and have produced tens of billions of production. However, more than 95% of the existing buildings and more than 80% of new buildings of China belong to those with high energy consumption. The paper tries to interpret the deep reason of the phenomenon from the aspects of society, technology, etc. for discussion of researchers in the field of architectural thermal engineering and energy conservation.

Energy consumption in buildings depends on several physical factors, including its physical characteristics, various building services systems/appliances used, and the outdoor environment. However, the occupants’ behavior that determines and regulates the building energy conservation also plays a critical role in the buildings’ energy performance. Compared to physical factors, there are relatively fewer studies on occupants’ behavior. This paper reports a systematic review analysis on occupant behavior and different modeling approaches using the Scopus and Science Direct databases. The comprehensive review study focuses on the current understanding of occupant behavior, existing behavior modeling approaches and their limitations, and key influential parameters on building energy conservation. Finally, the study identifies six significant research gaps for future development: occupant-centered space layout deployment; occupant behavior must be understood in the context of developing or low-income economies; there are higher numbers of quantitative occupant behavior studies than qualitative; the extensive use of survey or secondary data and the lack of real data used in model validation; behavior studies are required for diverse categories building; building information modeling (BIM) integration with existing occupant behavior modeling/simulation. These checklists of the gaps are beneficial for researchers to accomplish the future research in the built environment.

This paper analyzes the characteristics and composition of the energy consumption system of the building from the perspective of systematic energy conservation and presents the systematic framework of the consumption model. Based on the framework, the paper focuses on how to establish a building energy consumption assessment system, find the energy efficiency index system and assessment approaches, and apply the results directly into building energy conservation and emission reduction. It not only facilitates greatly the overall and efficient management of the energy consumption system of the building, but also serves as another new approach to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.
