Building Energy Conservation

Resource shortage and people’s concern about the problems in eco-environment deterioration will have a great influence on building energy efficiency. Building energy efficiency is base for achieving green reduction and energy conservation is the key point to green building design. This paper starts with green building concept and evaluation, studies the important role of science and technology in the development of green building and analyzes building energy conservation from three aspects: green materials, energy-saving measures and building practices. The paper aims to promote the development of China's green building in the new era.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of double skin in Thomas Herzog’s works. Double skin is an important method of green building design, and it is also one of the building energy-saving techniques that Thomas Herzog often uses. This paper discusses some of the common features of Herzog’s application of double skin by summarizing some of Herzog’s works and comparing them with the actual construction of Chinese ecological buildings.

Environmental Behaviours

A green building has a long lasting benefit through cultivating the occupants’ energy and resource-saving behaviours. To understand how green buildings can cultivate occupants’ pro-environment behaviours, the research applied the value–belief–norm model to investigate 17 pro-environmental behaviours which are related to a variety of green building design strategies. Two green and two non-green certified office buildings in the city of Shenzhen in China were surveyed, based on which structural equation modelling was established to confirm the relationship between personal values, environmental beliefs and norms that lead to pro-environment behaviours. Green and non-green building occupants showed significant differences in altruistic values, environmental awareness, personal norms, and pro-environmental behaviours. Green building users had more frequent pro-environmental behaviours than those in non-green buildings. The strategies that require fewer additional efforts were more likely to be adopted as pro-environmental behaviours, such as meeting daily needs within walking distance and adjusting sunshades, while the strategies that need extra physical efforts (taking stairs) or knowledge (garbage sorting) were less likely to be adopted as pro-environmental behaviours. This study pointed out important intervention opportunities and discussed the possible design implications for green building guidelines and programmes to cultivate green occupants and their corresponding pro-environmental behaviours.

Heat Events

This project examined evidence linking green building design strategies with the potential to enhance community resilience to extreme heat events. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method for a systematic review, it assessed the strength of the evidence supporting the potential for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) credit requirements to reduce the adverse effects of extreme heat events and/or enhance a building’s passive survivability (i.e., the ability to continue to function during utility outages) during those events. The PRISMA Flow Diagram resulted in the selection of 12 LEED for New Construction (LEED NC) credits for inclusion in the review. Following a preliminary scan of evidence supporting public health co-benefits of the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system, queries were submitted in PubMed using National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings Terms. Queries identified links between LEED credit requirements and risk of exposure to extreme heat, environmental determinants of health, co-benefits to public health outcomes, and co-benefits to built environment outcomes. Public health co-benefits included reducing the risk of vulnerability to heat stress and reducing heat-related morbidity and mortality. The results lay the groundwork for collaboration across the public health, civil society, climate change, and green building sectors.

Green building evaluation standards provide references for green building design. This paper did comparative and empirical research on evaluation points and design strategies of Chinese Green Building Evaluation Standard and American LEED-NC 2009, and analyzed the differences between their orientation and applicability. The conclusion shows that the strategy of GBES is more suitable for local green buildings in China.

For developing regional green building, it is very important to absorb the traditional architectural conception of energy conservation. Based on this, this article discusses a series of regional green building design strategies focusing on four aspects. First is responding to regional material, includes making use of local materials, modern renewal of traditional material, reuse of waste materials. Second is responding to regional natural climate, includes “closed insulation + solar energy use”, "ventilation + sunshade", "active ventilation + shade + activities insulation" and active utilization strategy. Third is responding to terrain elements, includes minimum of terrain environment damage and reduction of earthwork volume. Last is responding to regional culture, including expression of traditional materials, restructuring of traditional construction, modern interpretation of traditional regional.

With the growing importance of energy saving and environmental protection, building energy efficiency has become an important element of global energy conservation and green building has played a leading role in this regard. However, to achieve real building energy-saving, we should begin with green building design. LEED evaluation system is the most widely used and leading a new generation of architectural design trends. LEED standards used in green building design content the basic requirements of the tenants. At the same time, they protect the ecological environment and conserve natural resources largely.

Around 40% of the electrical energy produced worldwide is consumed by the Buildings of Residential as well as Commercial types. Efficient usage and optimization of electrical energy leads to Nearly Zero Energy (NZE) Green Buildings and it helps in Economic growth and Social development in all countries. Apart from providing reduced energy consumption, Building energy optimization also minimizes the total energy costs, maximizes energy savings and consequently contribute less greenhouse gases to the environment. Though the installation cost of NZE Green building is quite high, the investment can be regained within the payback period with savings in the energy consumption. In this paper an Eco-friendly, Energy optimized, NZE Green building is designed by using efficient building simulation program known as BEOpt through HVAC technologies by considering various designing parameters at the designing stage and the distinguishments in the energy consumption, energy saving per year and CO2 emissions between conventional building and the designed prototype of NZE Green building are addressed.
