[0003] Currently, the steel structure exterior walls of zero-energy buildings have poor thermal insulation performance and lack treatment for thermal bridging (weak points in thermal performance). This results in many problems in the insulation of such projects, leading to greater energy loss in the buildings and higher demand for cooling in summer and heating in winter, which is not conducive to achieving the goal of zero-carbon and zero-energy buildings.
