Energy-Efficient Design For The Wall Of Residential Buildings In Hangzhou Area

The wall is one of the most important parts in the envelope of residential buildings. In Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone, nearly 20 to 30 percent of total thermal loss in residential buildings is caused by the wall. Therefore, Energy-Efficient Design in the Wall has become a basic research for architectural sustainable development.This thesis focuses on both of the most important approaches to improve thermal-insulating capacity of walls: one is exploiting new architectural materials, the other is further developing compound walls. Also, by taking Hangzhou as a case study, we calculate and analyze possibility of condensation and heat-insulating ability of wall structures recommended by Design Standard for Energy Efficient of Residential Buildings DB33/1015-2003. The final conclusions are expected to be directly applied by architects and relative technicians.
