Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive testing of the thermal performance of building envelopes, and specifically relates to a method and system for quantifying passive energy saving and carbon emission reduction of building envelopes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, building carbon emission reduction monitoring largely relies on the statistics and inference of total building energy consumption, indirectly estimating carbon reduction effects through energy consumption reductions. However, this method cannot accurately distinguish the source of energy-saving contributions: whether it stems from passive energy savings due to improved thermal performance of the building envelope, or from improved energy efficiency of active systems such as HVAC. Therefore, existing methods struggle to independently and accurately quantify the energy-saving contribution of the building envelope itself, exhibiting a significant "attribution ambiguity" problem.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional methods typically rely on static theoretical values ​​or design conditions for calculations, failing to adequately consider the impact of dynamic environmental parameters such as solar radiation, wind speed, and temperature differences on the thermal performance of the building envelope during actual operation. This leads to discrepancies between the assessment results and actual energy-saving effects. Simultaneously, there is a lack of effective monitoring methods for performance degradation of the building envelope due to material aging, moisture absorption, and deformation during long-term use. This hinders the assurance of the long-term accuracy of carbon emission reductions, limiting its credibility in carbon accounting and trading. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a method for quantifying passive energy-saving and carbon emission reduction in building envelopes. By directly monitoring the heat flux density and temperature difference of the building envelope, and combining dynamic corrections with environmental parameters such as solar radiation and wind speed, the method achieves accurate and dynamic calculation of the actual heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope. This effectively overcomes the evaluation bias caused by traditional methods relying on design values ​​or static models, and significantly improves the accuracy and authenticity of energy saving and carbon emission reduction calculations.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: to provide a method for quantifying passive energy-saving carbon emission reduction in building envelopes, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: Deploy a sensing system on the building envelope of the building to be tested;

[0007] S2: The following data are synchronously collected at a preset frequency through the sensing system: heat flux density q, indoor and outdoor temperature difference ΔT, solar radiation intensity I, and wind speed v;

[0008] S3: Calculate the dynamic heat transfer coefficient K of the building envelope based on the heat flux density q and indoor-outdoor temperature difference ΔT collected in S2. current K current The average value over a preset time period;

[0009] S4: Establish the baseline heat transfer coefficient K for the building envelope. baseline K baseline The heat transfer coefficient when the performance of the building envelope has not degraded;

[0010] S5: Based on K baseline With K current The difference, combined with the area A of the enclosure structure and the calculation time t, is calculated using the formula ΔQ=(K baseline -K current )×ΔT×A×t to calculate the passive energy saving ΔQ of the enclosure structure;

[0011] S6: Obtain the carbon emission factor EF corresponding to the passive energy saving ΔQ, using the formula...

[0012] CarbonReduction = ΔQ × EF is used to calculate the passive energy-saving carbon emission reduction of the building envelope.

[0013] Furthermore, the sensing system includes:

[0014] A heat flux density sensor installed on the inner surface of the building envelope; a high-precision temperature sensor group that collects the indoor and outdoor temperatures of the building envelope; a solar radiation sensor that collects the outdoor solar radiation intensity; and a wind speed sensor that collects the outdoor wind speed.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, the heat flux density sensor is installed in a non-heat flux abnormal area of ​​the building envelope. The non-heat flux abnormal area is the middle part of the building envelope that avoids doors and windows, air conditioner outdoor units, and building corners, and the heat flux density sensor is completely attached to the inner surface of the building envelope.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the preset frequency is every 5 minutes, and the data acquisition timestamp deviation of all sensors is ≤10s, and data synchronization is achieved through GPS time calibration.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S3, the preset time period is hourly or daily; if the calculation period is the winter heating season or the summer cooling season, K current It is also necessary to make corrections based on solar radiation intensity I and wind speed v. The correction formula is as follows:

[0018] K current '=K current ×(1-k1×I+k2×v),

[0019] Where k1 is the solar radiation correction factor; k2 is the wind speed correction factor; I is the solar radiation intensity; and v is the wind speed.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, K baseline Obtained through direct measurement, including the following steps:

[0021] The renovation project must be completed within 7 days of completion, and the new project must be completed within 15 days of passing the final acceptance inspection, and both must be completed before the building is put into normal use.

[0022] Deploy the same sensing system as in step S1, and shut down all active temperature control devices in the building;

[0023] Data is collected synchronously at the preset frequency in step S2, and continuous monitoring is conducted for no less than 7 days.

[0024] After removing days with abnormal weather and days with sensor malfunctions within the monitoring period, the average daily K value of the remaining valid days is taken as K. baseline The characteristics of an abnormal weather day are wind speed > 8 m / s or solar radiation > 1200 W / m. 2 .

[0025] Furthermore, in step S6, the carbon emission factor EF is matched with the energy type corresponding to the passive energy saving ΔQ.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes step S7: tracking K calculated in step S3. current The trend of change, when K changes over N consecutive calculation periods current When the increase is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, an early warning of performance degradation of the building envelope is issued, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 3.

[0027] This invention also provides a passive energy-saving and carbon emission reduction quantification system for building envelopes, characterized in that it comprises:

[0028] The data acquisition module is used to collect the heat flux density q of the building envelope, the temperature difference ΔT between the inside and outside of the building envelope, and the external environmental parameters I and v in real time.

[0029] The data transmission module is used to transmit the data collected by the data acquisition module to the remote data processing and computing module;

[0030] The data processing and calculation module is used to receive data and perform the following functions:

[0031] K-value correction calculation function: Based on heat flux density q and temperature difference ΔT, and combined with the disturbance effect of external environmental parameters on the heat transfer of the building envelope surface, the dynamic heat transfer coefficient K of the building envelope is calculated. current ;

[0032] Passive energy-saving calculation function: based on K current With reference heat transfer coefficient K baseline The difference is used to calculate the instantaneous passive energy ΔQ;

[0033] Passive carbon reduction calculation function: Converts ΔQ into passive carbon reduction (CarbonReduction);

[0034] Performance degradation warning function: used for continuous monitoring of K current It tracks the changing trends over time and issues an early warning before the performance of the building envelope degrades to the preset energy-saving target value.

[0035] Furthermore, the data acquisition module includes: a heat flux density sensor, a high-precision temperature sensor group, a solar radiation sensor, and a wind speed sensor.

[0036] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] (2) By establishing a benchmark heat transfer coefficient for the building envelope and comparing it with the current heat transfer coefficient monitored in real time, this invention can directly and independently quantify the passive energy saving brought about by the improvement of the building envelope's own performance, completely separating the contribution of "passive energy saving" from "active energy saving" such as HVAC, and solving the core problem of unclear attribution of building energy saving for a long time.

[0039] (3) The system of this application has long-term tracking and intelligent analysis capabilities, which can monitor the decay trend of thermal performance of the building envelope in real time and issue an early warning before the performance drops to a preset threshold, thereby providing a basis for building operation and maintenance, ensuring the continuity and reliability of energy saving and carbon emission reduction effects, and extending the effective service life of the building envelope.

Install solar radiation and wind speed sensors on the building roof or in an open area facing south to collect outdoor environmental parameters.

[0049] S2: Data Synchronization Acquisition; All sensors synchronously acquire data such as heat flux density q, indoor and outdoor temperature difference ΔT, solar radiation intensity I, and wind speed v every 5 minutes via the built-in GPS time synchronization module, with timestamp deviation controlled within 10 seconds.
