Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of building envelope optimization, and provides a building envelope decarbonization design method that takes into account differences in load quality and personnel requirements. Background Art
[0002] As a bridge connecting the indoor and outdoor environments, the design of the building envelope is not only directly related to the carbon emissions of the building throughout its life cycle, but also has a profound impact on the indoor light and heat comfort and energy efficiency performance. However, the current design optimization of the envelope structure often ignores the diversity of load quality and its efficient processing strategy, resulting in the inefficient use of high-quality energy to process low-quality loads. At the same time, there is a lack of sufficient consideration for the differentiated needs of people of different ages for the light and heat environment, which in turn causes problems such as insufficient indoor environmental comfort or excessive energy consumption.
[0003] To solve this problem, traditional methods tend to use a combination of parametric design and stochastic optimization algorithms to globally optimize the variables of the envelope structure. However, the complexity of envelope structure design, including the wide variety of variables and the significant coupling effects between them, often causes the optimization process to fall into a local optimal solution, making it difficult to achieve a global optimal solution. In addition, due to the lack of detailed data on the light and heat comfort range for people of different age groups, the constraints in the optimization process are difficult to accurately quantify, which hinders the realization of a decarbonization design solution for building envelope structures that is both energy-saving and comfortable in actual projects. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention proposes an innovative decarbonization design strategy for building envelope structures, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0005] (1) Classify the air conditioning load of the building, identify its quality differences, and then design targeted and efficient processing paths to ensure the rational use of high-quality energy;
[0006] (2) Establish a database of solar and thermal demand covering people of different age groups to provide basic data support for the constraints of optimal design of building envelope structures;
[0007] (3) For the target building to be optimized, obtain its basic information, including building type, user population and operation data, and calculate the carbon emissions of the building under the existing conditions throughout its life cycle as a benchmark value;
[0008] (4) The solar thermal demand data of the target building users are extracted from the solar thermal demand database as the constraint condition for the optimization design. The carbon emissions over the entire life cycle are taken as the optimization target. Combined with the load quality classification concept, the building envelope structure is optimized in stages, and finally the optimal decarbonization design scheme for the envelope structure over the entire life cycle of the target building is obtained.
[0009] According to the above scheme, the load quality classification is divided according to the temperature range of the cold and heat sources required to process the load, and then a targeted and efficient processing path is designed; that is, natural cold and heat sources are used first to process low-quality loads, and then medium-quality energy such as low-temperature hot water or high-temperature cold water is used to process medium-quality loads. Finally, traditional high-temperature water heating or low-temperature water cooling is used to process the remaining high-quality loads, realizing the cascade utilization of energy, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and achieving a more refined decarbonization design.
[0010] According to the above scheme, the solar heat demand database is established by the following steps:
[0011] (1) Determine the light and thermal environment requirements of people of different age groups based on their physiological and psychological developmental characteristics;
[0012] (2) Define illumination, color temperature, indoor temperature and humidity, and related indicators based on lighting standards and thermal comfort parameters;
[0013] (3) Combined with field survey data, collect light and heat environment data in different climate zones and typical building types to determine the demand parameter range for people of different age groups;
[0014] (4) Through data analysis and model construction, a solar and thermal demand database suitable for different building types and people of different age groups is generated to provide guidance for the optimal design of the building envelope.
[0015] According to the above scheme, the phased optimization method divides the envelope structure into load blocking type and load regulation type according to the processing mechanism of the building load; the former reduces the heat transfer between indoor and outdoor and reduces the number of indoor loads, while the latter reduces the load quality and gives priority to the use of low-quality energy to regulate the indoor load.
[0016] According to the above scheme, the load-barrier enclosure structure optimization is based on the light and heat demand that matches the age of the database as a constraint condition, and the carbon emissions over the entire life cycle as an optimization target. By optimizing its insulation and thermal insulation performance parameters, the total number of building loads is reduced to obtain the optimization results of the first stage.
[0017] According to the above scheme, the load-controlled enclosure structure optimization, based on the optimization results of the first stage and based on the idea of load quality differences, adopts dynamic adjustment methods such as embedded tube walls and phase change materials to give priority to indoor low-quality loads, and then sequentially process medium and high-quality loads, to achieve cascade utilization of energy and achieve more efficient carbon emission reduction effects.

[0033] (4) Through data analysis and model construction, a solar and thermal demand database suitable for different building types and people of different age groups is generated to provide data support for the optimization of envelope structure design.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, solving the decarbonization optimization problem of the enclosure structure specifically includes the following steps:
[0035] (1) Determine the optimization objectives and constraints: Taking the solar thermal demand matching of the appropriate age group in the solar thermal demand database as the constraint condition and the carbon emissions over the entire life cycle as the optimization objective, first optimize the load-blocking envelope structure to reduce the total building load, while comprehensively considering the embodied carbon emissions of building materials; the optimization variables include the thickness of the insulation layer of the envelope structure, material type, window type and heat transfer coefficient (U value), building orientation and window-to-wall ratio (WWR), and the enhanced elite retention genetic algorithm (SEGA) is used for optimization;
[0036] (2) Based on the optimization results of the first stage, combined with the idea of load quality classification, targeted and efficient processing paths are designed, load-controlled enclosure structures are optimized, dynamic adjustment measures such as embedded pipe walls and phase change materials are introduced, low-quality indoor loads are treated first, and dependence on high-quality energy is reduced. Efficient cascade utilization of energy is achieved, and the enhanced elite retention genetic algorithm (SEGA) is used for optimization;
[0037] (3) Combining the optimization results of the first and second phases, an optimization plan for decarbonization of the building envelope is output to fully achieve the decarbonization design goal of the building.
