Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of building technology, and particularly to an optimized design method for building health performance based on spatial thermal autonomy. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, the public's requirements for the quality of life are constantly increasing, and creating a healthy and comfortable indoor building environment has become the core pursuit in the field of building design. There is a close relationship between the thermal comfort of the indoor environment, the comfort feeling of the occupants, the overall satisfaction, and the overall energy consumption of the building. Therefore, accurately predicting and optimizing the thermal comfort of the building has become an indispensable part of current building design.

[0003] In the traditional building design workflow, the evaluation method of thermal comfort is usually based on a thermal comfort model containing fixed formulas (such as Predicted Mean Vote PMV), combined with the hourly calculation of the simulated thermal environment data, and finally integrated into general annual indicators, such as the percentage of time outside the PMV range, the proportion of time outside the set operating temperature range, etc. These traditional thermal comfort indicators often limit the thermal comfort conditions to a narrow temperature range. However, this constant environmental mode not only fails to effectively promote the thermal balance adjustment ability of the occupants themselves, but also leads to a dependence on the frequent operation of active regulation systems such as air conditioners, significantly increasing the energy consumption of the building. Research shows that under natural ventilation conditions, users can accept a wider comfortable temperature range and a larger temperature fluctuation amplitude compared to non-naturally ventilated rooms through their body's thermal regulation ability and thermal adaptation behavior; at the same time, natural ventilation conditions are also beneficial to improving the indoor environmental quality and the health level of the occupants.

[0004] In this context, the proposal and application of the concept of Spatial Thermal Autonomy (sTA) are particularly important. Spatial Thermal Autonomy represents the percentage of the floor area of a building that can meet or exceed a given thermal comfort standard only through passive means. In its calculation process, the thermal comfort evaluation method can be selected and adjusted according to the design requirements. A suitable thermal comfort evaluation method can fully consider the thermal regulation and thermal adaptation ability of the occupants, break through the narrow thermal comfort temperature range defined by traditional thermal comfort indicators, and expand the acceptable temperature fluctuation range of the occupants. On the other hand, in its calculation process, the building is no longer divided into a single thermal zone, but the space is divided into grids of appropriate sizes according to the building use requirements, and the thermal comfort conditions of each grid are judged, so as to capture the time-space changes of the indoor environment and solve the limitation of insufficient attention to the uneven distribution of the thermal environment in the indoor space in the current building design process.

[0005] However, in the current prediction process of spatial thermal autonomy, since traditional thermal comfort methods cannot comprehensively evaluate the actual thermal comfort experience, there is a large gap from the actual feelings of users. At the same time, the current calculation process does not consider the differences in personnel activity time, space, and thermal demand, and its error will accumulate continuously during the calculation process, resulting in a large error between the final result of the spatial thermal autonomy calculation and the actual situation. In addition, the calculation of spatial thermal autonomy requires hourly and grid-based spatial thermal environment simulation of the building throughout the year, with a huge amount of calculation. Conducting a single spatial thermal autonomy assessment of a building consumes a large amount of computing power and time, and it is very difficult to apply it to the optimization process of building design schemes.

[0006] Therefore, aiming at the problems of large prediction error, high computing power demand, and long time consumption of spatial thermal autonomy, it is urgent to develop a prediction model of building spatial thermal autonomy for actual use scenarios that can comprehensively evaluate thermal comfort. It can not only fully consider the thermal comfort needs of residents, broaden the thermal comfort range of residents, and improve their overall health level, but also achieve the accuracy and efficiency of building spatial thermal autonomy prediction. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to propose an optimized design method for building health performance based on spatial thermal autonomy. By integrating a comprehensive thermal comfort evaluation model into the calculation process, a comprehensive and overall evaluation of the thermal comfort of users is realized; at the same time, a spatio-temporal graph model is applied to train the prediction model of spatial thermal autonomy (sTA), combined with the activity rules of users, to accurately capture and analyze the dynamic characteristics of the indoor environment in the time dimension and spatial layout, and solve the problems of large prediction error and high computing power demand of current spatial thermal autonomy. The implementation of the present invention can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of building spatial thermal autonomy prediction, provide technical support for optimizing spatial thermal autonomy in the building design process, improve the passive design strategy of buildings, enhance the thermal regulation ability of buildings themselves, improve the living experience of residents, and at the same time save energy and reduce carbon, promoting the development of building design towards a more healthy, green, and efficient direction.

[0081] Embodiment

[0082] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0083] According to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an optimization design method for the building health performance based on spatial thermal autonomy, including the following steps:

[0084] Step 1: Construct a thermal comfort model combining multi-modal deep learning and fuzzy neural network;

[0085] The specific steps of Step 1 are as follows:

[0086] Step 1.1: Collect the physiological indicators of the local population based on high-precision physiological sensing technology and construct a database;

[0087] Step 1.2: Integrate the subjective and objective perceptions to construct a database of the local population's emotions, cognitive states, and thermal sensations;

[0088] Step 1.3: Construct a time series prediction model for the local climate based on multi-sensor fusion data;

[0089] Step 1.4: Collect the indoor thermal environment parameters of typical local buildings;

[0090] Step 1.5: Construct a thermal comfort model for the comprehensive indicators of the local population based on multi-modal data;

[0091] The specific steps of Step 1.1 are as follows:

[0092] First, determine the climate zone where the building is located. The division of climate zones is based on the climate characteristics of the region where the building is located to ensure effective optimization of building design for different climate conditions. After determining the climate zone, next, according to the age structure distribution of local residents, representative subjects of each age group are selected for physiological data collection. To ensure the representativeness and scientific nature of the sampling, the present invention adopts a random sampling method, randomly selecting eligible subjects from each age group and inviting them to participate in data collection. This step ensures that the subject group is widely representative in terms of age structure and can accurately reflect the physiological response differences of people of different age groups to the indoor thermal environment.

[0093] During the physiological data collection process, a portable physiological collection device is used for real-time monitoring. This device can continuously record multiple physiological parameters of the subjects, including but not limited to: skin temperature, heart rate, skin conductivity, and respiratory rate, etc. The collection of these physiological data covers the seasonal changes throughout the year to comprehensively evaluate the impact of seasonal climate changes on the human body and ensure the comprehensiveness and representativeness of the data. The physiological data is monitored in real time through sensors and time series analysis is carried out to evaluate the immediate impact of the thermal environment on physiological responses. The collected physiological data will be used to establish a physiological database of regional personnel, which contains the physiological response data of people in different climate regions and different age groups. Through long-term monitoring and data accumulation, it can provide a scientific basis for subsequent building design and help better optimize thermal comfort and energy efficiency.

[0094] The specific content of step 1.2 is as follows:

[0095] In step S1.2, based on the data collected by the recording device and the near-infrared functional brain imaging (fNIRS) device, through language emotion recognition tools such as OpenSMILE, time series analysis, frequency domain analysis, event-related analysis, and optical path correction algorithms, the facial expressions, language expressions, and brain activity states of regional personnel under different seasons, usage scenarios, and thermal environment conditions are analyzed to evaluate their emotional states and cognitive abilities. Specifically, the recording device is used to record the language expressions of the subjects in the thermal environment, and the emotional analysis of the voice signals is carried out through the OpenSMILE tool to evaluate the language emotion changes of the subjects; the near-infrared functional brain imaging device is used to monitor the brain activity states of the subjects in the thermal environment, combined with electroencephalogram analysis and cerebral blood flow change data, and time series analysis and frequency domain analysis methods are used to evaluate the cognitive states and mental loads of the subjects; at the same time, event-related analysis technology is applied to analyze the response patterns of the subjects to thermal environment changes to further confirm the relationship between their emotional fluctuations and cognitive changes.

[0096] In addition, data is collected through a combination of on-site surveys and online questionnaires. Analysts conduct subjective thermal sensation, thermal comfort, relevant cognitive ability tests, and emotion questionnaires under different thermal environment conditions. Specifically, when implementing, a multi-dimensional questionnaire is designed and distributed, including the thermal sensation of the subjects under different thermal environments, self-evaluation of thermal comfort, evaluation of work efficiency, and emotional state, etc., to evaluate the adaptability of the subjects to the current environment. Combined with cognitive ability tests (such as reaction time, memory, attention concentration, etc.), the impact of the thermal environment on the thinking and attention of the subjects is further analyzed; at the same time, the fatigue of the subjects is investigated to evaluate the physiological and psychological fatigue conditions that may be caused by long-term exposure to a specific thermal environment. Through the integration of the above multiple data sources, a database of thermal sensation and related emotional cognitive states of regional personnel is finally constructed, providing scientific data support for the subsequent personalized thermal comfort prediction model.

[0097] Specifically, step 1.3 is as follows:

[0098] In step S1.3, based on the data collected by the multi-sensor fusion technology, devices such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind speed sensors, and radiant temperature sensors are used to collect the outdoor thermal environment data of the region. Specifically, the temperature sensor is used to collect the air temperature data in the environment in real time, the humidity sensor is used to monitor the change of air humidity, the wind speed sensor is used to detect the fluctuation of wind speed, and the radiant temperature sensor is used to obtain the distribution of radiant heat energy. These data will jointly reflect the current thermal environment state of the region. By fusing these different types of sensor data and using the multi-sensor data fusion algorithm for data preprocessing, noise filtering, and signal integration, high-precision environmental parameter data can be obtained.

[0099] Next, a time series data prediction algorithm is constructed using the combined autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, long short-term memory network (LSTM), and convolutional neural network (CNN). Specifically, when implementing, the ARIMA model is used to model the long-term trend of environmental data and identify and fit the long-term change laws of variables such as regional temperature, humidity, wind speed, and radiation; the LSTM network is used to capture the long-term dependencies in time series data, which is particularly suitable for predicting the dynamic changes of climate data; the CNN is used to extract the local features in multi-dimensional sensor data to further optimize the prediction accuracy of the model. By combining these three methods, the constructed regional climate model can efficiently perform deep learning and analysis on multi-dimensional environmental variables, thereby predicting the thermal environment changes under different seasons and climate conditions.

[0100] By analyzing the changing trends of environmental variables such as regional temperature, humidity, wind speed, and radiation, and combining ARIMA's modeling of long-term trends, CNN's extraction of local features, and LSTM's capture of long-term dependencies, this model can accurately predict the changes in the thermal environment over a period of time in the future. Finally, the predicted results output by the model will be used to provide accurate regional climate predictions to assist in making decisions for thermal environment control and optimization.

[0101] The specific content of step 1.5 is as follows:

[0102] In step S1.5, first, collect data on people's subjective thermal sensations, thermal comfort, cognitive ability tests, and emotional responses in different seasons and usage scenarios, combine them with indoor and outdoor thermal environment data (temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) at corresponding moments, and use an integrated multi-input system to standardize the data so that data in different dimensions (such as body temperature, emotion, cognitive ability, etc.) are in the same dimension. Then, according to the characteristics of the input variables, define fuzzy sets and define a membership function for each fuzzy set to represent the membership degree of each input variable. Next, construct fuzzy rules based on empirical data and distinguish the differences in thermal demands in different activity situations, and different fuzzy logics need to be applied. Finally, use the Mamdani inference method to derive the fuzzy results of the output variables to obtain a comprehensive thermal comfort index (Comprehensive Comfort Index, CCI).

[0103] Step 2: Construction of a building indoor thermal environment-thermal demand prediction model based on a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network;

[0104] The specific content of step 2 is as follows:

[0105] Step 2.1: Construction of a spatio-temporal thermal environment dataset for typical regional buildings;

[0106] Step 2.2: Collection of regional personnel behavior-thermal demand and construction of a dataset;

[0107] Step 2.3: Deep learning-driven multi-dimensional data feature extraction and preprocessing;

[0108] Step 2.4: Training of a building indoor spatio-temporal thermal environment-thermal demand prediction model based on a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network.

[0109] The specific content of step 2.1 is as follows:

[0110] Step 2.1.1: Obtaining design parameters of typical regional buildings based on lidar;

[0111] Step 2.1.2: Construction of a building form and energy consumption model;

[0112] Step 2.1.3: Simulation of spatial thermal environment parameters based on a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster;

[0113] The specific content of Step 2.1.1 is as follows:

[0114] Apply lidar technology to obtain typical building design parameters of the region. Scan and collect data on the building's exterior facade, spatial structure, and surrounding environment through lidar equipment, extract design parameters such as the geometric shape, dimensions, floor height, and window positions of the building, construct a dataset of typical building design parameters of the region based on this, and through data cleaning and standardization processing, ensure the accuracy and consistency of the building design parameters.

[0115] The specific content of Step 2.2 is as follows:

[0116] Step 2.2.1: On-site collection of regional personnel behavior and physiological indicators;

[0117] Step 2.2.2: Cluster analysis of regional personnel behavior-thermal demand;

[0118] Step 2.2.3: Establishment of the spatio-temporal mapping relationship between regional personnel behavior and thermal demand;

[0119] The specific content of Step 2.2.1 is as follows:

[0120] On-site collect the personnel behavior, clothing wearing conditions, and their physiological indicators (respiration rate and heart rate) of typical buildings in the region throughout the year, and mark the data according to time and space.

[0121] The specific content of Step 2.2.2 is as follows:

[0122] Based on the respiration rate and heart rate, calculate the metabolic rate under different behaviors and clothing wearing conditions, and conduct cluster analysis on it, corresponding different behaviors and clothing wearing conditions to a thermal demand index.

[0123] The specific content of Step 2.2.3 is as follows:

[0124] Correspond the time and space information of the occurrence of regional personnel behavior with the thermal demand coefficient to construct a spatio-temporal matrix of regional personnel behavior-thermal demand.

[0125] Step 2.3 is specifically as follows: Based on the type of input data, technologies such as normalization processing, time series analysis, and convolutional neural networks are applied to construct preprocessing schemes for different types of data, obtaining optimized building design parameters and building floor plan data. Among them, for building design parameters, normalization processing is applied and combined with feature selection methods to remove low-correlation or redundant features, obtaining effective design parameter data. For building floor plans, the floor plans are converted into image data, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used for feature extraction. The CNN model automatically extracts spatial features in the floor plan, such as the shapes, sizes, and positions of different areas such as rooms, corridors, and windows. If the building floor plan is relatively complex or the image data is relatively limited, an image segmentation model can be used to segment different areas to clarify the boundaries of each spatial area in the building.

[0126] Step 2.4 is specifically as follows: Based on the dataset, spatio-temporal graph convolutional networks (ST-GCN) are applied to construct a building indoor spatio-temporal thermal environment-thermal demand prediction model. The building floor plan is converted into a graph structure, with grids as nodes to describe the topological structure of the space. At the same time, the thermal demand, activities, and number of people at each node at different times are used as features for convolutional processing in the time dimension.

[0127] Step 3: Construction of a building space thermal autonomy prediction model based on spatio-temporal Transformer;

[0128] Step 3 is specifically as follows:

[0129] Step 3.1: Construction of a building space thermal autonomy dataset;

[0130] Step 3.2: Concatenation of time encoding, space encoding, and input features;

[0131] Step 3.3: Training of a space thermal autonomy prediction model based on spatio-temporal Transformer (ST-Transformer);

[0132] Step 3.4: Verification of the performance of the space thermal autonomy prediction model.

[0133] Step 3.1 is specifically as follows:

[0134] Step 3.1.1: Acquisition of a building indoor spatio-temporal thermal environment-thermal demand dataset;

[0135] Step 3.1.2: Prediction of building indoor spatio-temporal thermal comfort index;

[0136] Step 3.1.3: Calculation of building indoor space thermal autonomy.

[0137] Step 3.1.1 is specifically as follows:

[0138] Substitute the typical building design parameters of different functional types in different regions into the building indoor spatio-temporal thermal environment-thermal demand prediction model obtained in Step 2.4 to obtain the building indoor thermal environment-thermal demand spatio-temporal distribution matrix.

[0139] Step 3.1.2 is specifically as follows:

[0140] Substitute the thermal environment parameter characteristics and thermal demand coefficient characteristics in the building indoor thermal environment-thermal demand spatio-temporal distribution matrix into the comprehensive thermal comfort model in Step 1.5 to obtain the building indoor thermal comfort spatio-temporal distribution matrix.

[0141] Step 3.1.3 is specifically as follows:

[0142] Calculate the spatial thermal autonomy according to the hourly thermal comfort situation of grid points. The spatial thermal autonomy is defined as "the percentage of the building area where the hot zone reaches or exceeds the given thermal comfort standard only through passive means", and the spatial thermal autonomy index sTA per hour t , and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0143]

[0144] where A i is the local area of the space represented by grid point i, with the unit of m 2 ; 1 {i∈comfort} is an indicator function, which is equal to 1 if grid point i meets the comfort standard, otherwise 0; A total is the total area of the space, with the unit of m 2 .

[0145] Then calculate the annual spatial thermal autonomy sTA annual , and the calculation formula is:

[0146]

[0147] where τ comfort is the hourly spatial comfort threshold, representing the minimum floor area percentage (or grid point i) that must meet the defined comfort standard for a given area to be considered thermally autonomous at time t; is 1 if the hourly spatial thermal autonomy sTA t is greater than or equal to τ comfort at time t, otherwise 0; T year is the total number of hours in a year (usually 8760h for non-leap years).

[0148] Step 3.2 is specifically as follows:

[0149] Spatial and temporal information is introduced by performing positional encoding on the model input dataset (thermal environment parameters, heat demand coefficients, etc.). Sine-cosine encoding is used to represent time to ensure that the model can recognize the order of time, and spatial coordinates are used to assign a positional encoding to each spatial point.

[0150] Step 3.3 is specifically as follows:

[0151] Based on the time - space distribution data of the indoor thermal environment parameters and the heat demand of the building occupants, combined with the spatio - temporal Transformer model, a prediction model for the thermal autonomy of the indoor space of the building is constructed. First, the Transformer architecture is designed. Through the multi - head attention mechanism, spatial attention is used to capture the heat conduction in space, and temporal attention is used to model the impact of daily and seasonal variations on the thermal environment and the behavior of the occupants. For each time step, a spatio - temporal attention matrix is used to capture the correlation of each spatio - temporal position. Finally, a fully connected layer is applied to map the output of the model to the prediction target - spatial thermal autonomy.

[0152] Step 3.4 is specifically as follows:

[0153] During the training process, the mean squared error (MSE) loss is used to measure the difference between the predicted annual thermal comfort ratio of the model and the true value, and the Adam optimizer is used to train the model, continuously adjusting hyperparameters such as the learning rate to improve the prediction accuracy of the model.
