Abstract
In this paper, a bamboo steel composite testing building was designed and built to study the thermal performance of a new proposed bamboo steel composite wall. The heat flux meter method was adopted in the field test to measure the heat transfer coefficient of the composite wall. The energy consumption of testing building was measured to verify the validity of the simulation model. Then, the simulation analysis was conducted to study the energy performance of the composite walls compared with reinforced concrete wall in different climate regions. The result showed that the measurement value of heat transfer coefficient matched well with the theoretical calculation value, and both values meet the requirement of the standard. The simulation result showed that the composite walls had better energy performance and had great potential utilization in residential buildings in different climate regions.

IntroductionWith the development of the society, excessive resource consumption has become an important problem in developing economy and improving people’s living standards
With the development of the society, excessive resource consumption has become an important problem in developing economy and improving people’s living standards.e resource consumption of building and building-related activities has a huge share in total resource consumption [1, 2]
The thermal performance of the proposed walls has not been studied. is paper is aimed at investigating the thermal performance of bamboo steel composite wall and its potential application in different climate regions
Summary
With the development of the society, excessive resource consumption has become an important problem in developing economy and improving people’s living standards. Bamboo has the advantages of high strengthto-weight ratio and good seismic resistant performance It is a sustainable building material and can be competitive with traditional materials [3, 4]. E study indicated that the thermal insulation performance of bamboo plywood was better than traditional building materials. E bamboo steel composite members combine the advantages of light weight and high strength of bamboo plywood and steel, while the disadvantage of easy buckling of thin-walled steel is overcome. Is paper is aimed at investigating the thermal performance of bamboo steel composite wall and its potential application in different climate regions. A testing building made of bamboo steel composite walls was built to test the thermal performance of the proposed wall. En, the simulation was conducted to assess the energy performance of the composite walls compared with reinforced concrete wall in different climate regions A testing building made of bamboo steel composite walls was built to test the thermal performance of the proposed wall. en, the simulation was conducted to assess the energy performance of the composite walls compared with reinforced concrete wall in different climate regions
