In this article, we mixed hollow glass beads with nano-TiO2 and iron oxide red in a certain proportion to prepare a low-brightness, high-reflective, safe, and durable cooling coating throughout the experiments. The coating is suitable for energy-saving in tropical areas. To discuss the energy saving effects of the coating on an exterior envelope in tropical areas, a comparative analysis for two scenario models of a two-story residential building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was conducted. The results indicated that the heat reflective insulation coating could reduce the exterior envelope surface temperature effectively, and the maximum temperature change was about 6–8 °C. Through calculations, it was found that the annual energy saving rate was 12.9%, which showed that the energy saving effect of the heat insulation coating was obvious in Kuala Lumpur. The brightness of the coating was less than 50%, and its comfort and safety met the requirements.

To discuss the effect of energy saving of heat-reflective insulation coating on exterior walls of building, the wall temperature change of two test rooms with heat insulation or not in Hangzhou has been monitored in summer, and the heat flux data of east, south and west walls were analyzed. The results indicate that the temperature of outside wall surface with the heat reflective insulation coating is reduced effectively, and the maximum temperature change was about 9, 10°C. There is a positive proportional between the mean daily air temperature and heat gain that the heat gain increases with the mean daily air temperature. By calculating, the higher the air temperature, the more the cooling effect of coating in summer. But the higher the mean daily temperature do not mean that the more heat gain in summer. The result shows the energy saving effect of the heat insulation coating on building wall was very obvious in summer in Hangzhou.

This paper presents an experimental study on the energy saving effect of reflective coatings on exterior walls. Two identical test buildings were built in Zhejiang College of Construction, one of which is covered with reflective coatings and the other not. The wall temperature fluctuation of both buildings is monitored in summer, which includes the east, south and west walls. The results indicate that the maximum reduction of wall temperature is 9-10 °C in the building with reflective coatings, compared with wall temperature in the other without it. The reduction in heat gain of east, south and west walls is obvious, so is the cooling effect. The reduction in electricity consumption of air-conditioning system in the building with reflective coatings is 0.94 KWh/m2 per month times by calculation, which well proves the energy saving effect of reflective coatings.

In order to discuss the effect of energy saving of heat-reflective insulation coating on exterior walls of building, the wall temperature change of two test rooms with heat insulation or not in Hangzhou has been monitored in summer, and the heat flux data of east, south and west walls were analyzed. The results indicate that the reflective coatings reduce the exterior surface temperature by up to 7 to 8°C. The reduction in heat gain of east, south and west walls is significant, which is the cooling effect. The total surface heat gain of exterior walls without reflective coatings is 2.44 times larger than those without them. In particular, the heat gain of walls with reflective coatings is nearly 5.27 times more than that of walls without reflective coatings. The reduction in electricity consumption of air-conditioning system in the building with reflective coatings is 2.5KWh/m2 per month by calculation, which well proves the energy saving effect of reflective coatings.

An energy saving residential building in Zhangjiakou was took as research object, which was designed and constructed according to the criterion of 65% energy saving of the third stage, utilizing simulation software Dest, which was developed by Qinghua University, energy consumption simulation and economic analysis were done to the building. The results show that compared with the former residence which was built according to the non-energy saving design, the implementation of new design standard for building energy saving can not only achieve better energy saving effect, but also its payback period is short, so the new design standard for building energy saving is worth spreading.

It is the considerable measure that adopting the ventilation solar wall to make up the indoor air in winter because this method embodies the effective use of renewable energy. This paper analyzes the needed volume of make-up air in the different conditions of indoor air exhaust in winter and builds a solar wall to heat the make-up air. Under the conditions of different solar wall size of air channel thickness and so on, Conclusions can be simulated by using CFD software. When the optimum cavity width B is 50mm, the height of air supply outlet D is 30mm and the volume of make-up air is 200 m3/h,the maximum temperature rise of the air rises to 24°C.But when the volume of make-up air is 600 m3/h, there has the best energy-saving effect.

According to climatic characteristics of Zhangjiakou, energy saving rates of residential building which were generated respectively by heat transfer coefficient of different external walls and different external windows and air change rate were calculated and analyzed using Dest-h residential building energy consumption analysis software. Finally energy saving effect of these measures was obtained to provide some references for residential building designing the criterion of 65% energy saving.

This paper introduces the present situation of existing residential building energy saving reconstruction of Anshan area, the result of the analysis is that the renovation of retaining structure is the key of the reconstruction of existing residential buildings of Anshan. Exterior wall area ratio of the total area of the building envelope accounts for quite large, so transformation of exterior wall is the key. Energy saving wall approach divided into external wall insulation and exterior insulation. Analysis of energy-saving measures by the external wall insulation, and the external wall of a residential district in Anshan city and analysis of thermal insulation and energy saving renovation case, better energy-saving effect, energy saving measures of external economy more external insulation, the region has provided the reference and basis transformation of external wall energy-saving residence building.

A relative index evaluation system of the energy efficiency in residential buildings is formed according to relevant energy-saving standards of the Ministry of Construction of China and the present situation in this area . Then a comprehensive evaluation model is built based on entropy and Unascertained Measure theory, and through an example to verify the applicability and feasibility of the model.
