Abstract
In Urumqi, China, the occupancy rate of hotels during the low season is quite different from that of high season. This phenomenon can result in wasting energy. However, most energy saving design standards don't take seasonal use characteristics of buildings into consideration. This paper focused on the energy saving design based on seasonal use patterns for big hotels in Urumqi. Combining time-variation characteristics with the unique climate this study explored a different approach to energy management. Design strategies for big hotels in the Urumqi region were developed according to use patterns and climatic conditions, considering thermal, wind and luminous factors. This study provides design ideas for big hotels in temperate continental climate areas based on this alternative approach.
