Analysis on the Influencing Factors and Definition of Typical Model of Commercial Buildings in the Pearl River Delta

Abstract

As a rapid developed area in China, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) has its own building features. Analysis on its characteristic can serve as a reference for future application of energy-saving technologies in this region. As a key factor for energy consumption simulation, a typical building model can be used to evaluate the energy-saving potential of green building materials, designs as well as device. It is of great significance for building energy research, policy formulation, and market orientation. In this paper, a statistic involving over 200 construction drawings is adopted to analyze the correlation among window-to-wall ratio (WWR), building area, building height, building age and floor number after 2000 in the PRD. Finally, based on the analysis of the design parameters of the influencing factors, a typical commercial building model of the PRD is defined.
