Research On Energy Efficient Design Of Department Stores In Chongqing

The paper takes department store as example and researches on the energy efficient strategies in the field of architecture design. Firstly, large and medium scale of department stores located in commercial centers of Chongqing are chosen as subjects, the building features and operational power are investigated into twelve stores; Secondly, based on local climate, holistic energy efficient strategies about store building design are offered, especially passive methods are elaborated; Lastly, in respect of the collecting facts, a typical department store model is built up, a series of energy efficient projects are presented according to the enclosure, and through comparing the thermal identity and investment among different projects, conclusions are drawn which are helpful to energy efficient design of store buildings in Chongqing.To architect calculation must be easy to proceed, so estimation is taken to have a model analysis. The referred estimation is based on the mastered thermo technical theory by architect and is different from professional heat engineering calculation.In Chapter 1 the background and object of the research are introduced.In Chapter 2 basic investigation is taken. According to the results the main causes that lead to high operational power are analyzed, and the feature of local climate and the effects on energy efficiency of buildings are elaborated.In Chapter 3 principle and method of energy efficient strategic design are generally presented. By analyzing a supermarket building which is perfect in energy efficient design, the necessity and feasibility of energy sustainability are proved.In Chapter 4 passive design methods to department store are stated. A series of instrumental energy efficient strategies are offered mainly in eight respects, such as site planning, atrium space, enclosure and cladding, curtain walls, shading etc.In Chapter 5 one typical department store model is built up and model analyses are taken. By analyzing the thermal identity and comparing the operational benefits of different energy efficient design projects to the enclosure, conclusions are drawn which are of resultant value to energy efficient design of department stores in Chongqing.In Chapter 6 the whole conclusions are made and the problems that ought to be deeply discussed in the following research are presentedAbout 63,000 words, with 75 graphs.
