The research of CS panel integration performance of energy saving, load bearing and decoration, shows that exterior materials reflection and absorption of solar radiation is one of the main factors that affects the thermal insulation and building energy efficiency. In this work the experimental detection data is analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively in order to realize the influence of different solar radiation absorption properties from the outer decorative materials to the CS panel indoor thermal environment and energy-saving. The principle of energy saving optimization choice of the CS panel exterior decorative materials is proposed.

Building energy efficiency is a current research focus. This paper combined actual testing and software simulation to studies the new type rural residential in Chaoyang, study its effect on the indoor thermal environment and energy saving effect. The results showed that the new type rural residential indoor air temperature significantly lower than ordinary one in both vertical and horizontal directions, indoor thermal environment has markedly improved, and heat load indicators reduced significantly, energy-saving rate up to 66.41%, achieved the dual effect of improving indoor thermal environment and energy efficiency.

This paper highlights a number of recently published research studies during last five years in order to provide a summary related to latest trends of energy efficiency in the smart buildings technology. It reviews numerous technical methods applied to achieve a high level of Building Energy Efficiency (BEE). In this paper, methods applied to measure the BEE and to predict the energy-use have been considered and reviewed. Furthermore, some other methods discussed in articles which consider retrofitting of interior design of buildings have been taken. One of the most impacts that has been considered is the light control system because it directly affects the energy use. This paper has reviewed different types of techniques that save energy consumptions such as predictive techniques of energy use, Internet of Things (IoT) buildings, light control systems inside buildings, and Quick Response (QR) code based services used to notify occupants for energy-use. It has provided a simple comparison between different techniques used to retrofit the interior design of buildings due to its high importance in saving energy. The paper has also recommended suitability of methods taking into account the existing situation, design, limitations, and conditions of the building being studied.

Energy efficiency must first be a good envelope, then consider saving technology from the device. From the perspective of building life-cycle perspective, the eco-design of energy-efficient throughout, so that the building has good ventilation and shade integrated structure, building envelope insulation effect good, reasonable equipment systems, these measures will be building energy efficiency has played a active role. According to these principles, the program selection, save energy, to obtain better results.

We investigate the factors (“drivers”) that motivated investment in energy efficiency in commercial real estate office buildings over the 2006–2011 and 2012–2017 period, and looking forward from 2018 in the context of growing concern over carbon emissions around the world. These insights were collected from large Canadian asset managers through interviews conducted in 2017 and 2018. Key findings were that (1) organizations noted an increasing number of factors driving investment decisions over the three periods; (2) cost drivers (payback period and anticipated financial returns) were the top two drivers in 2006–2017; (3) public relations factors became significantly more important looking forward, with brand (reputational impact) as the top-ranked driver and tenant attraction tied for third place; and (4) mitigation against risks such as resilience and anticipated compliance consistently increased in importance. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of past, present, and near-future sustainable real estate investment priorities, changing owner behaviors, and the perceived business case for building energy efficiency investments.
