Study Of Climate Classification Based On Passive Design Strategies

To design a building according to the climate by applying different passive strategies can lead to energy saving, because passive design reduces the energy loads of the building.This dissertation studies systematically on climatic design and its classific mapping, in order to give architects of China a clear design guide of which passive strategy could have effects in different climate zones, and how well could these strategies work.This dissertation summarized different passive strategies,analysis methods,softwears, and for the first time, by using Weather too(lEcotect), analysised the climatic data of 200 cities in China.This dissertation inputs the data in GIS (ARCGIS9.2) and by using function interpolation (Kriging) after careful Comparison, outputs the classified maps below: Potential of passive strategies, Capacity of Combined passive strategies, Capacity of Passive Solar Heating, Capacity of Direct evaporative cooling, Capacity of Indirect evaporative cooling, Capacity of Thermalmass effects, Capacity of Thermalmass effects with night purge ventilation, Capacity of Natural Ventilation.After the classific mapping, this dissertation uses the Standard Deviation and maximum Value of the comgfort pencentege that different passive methods could reach within 12 months to define the real capacity of each passive methods.To provide convenience to use the results, this dissertation give a real example to illustrate how to use these maps. This dissertation also presents a model for passive design methods classific mapping.
