Research on rural heating design temperature based on residential behavior pattern

Abstract

Purpose / Context - Rural heating design temperature is closely related to building thermal perfor-mance design, indoor plain layout and energy consumption. Methodology / Approach - Focus on residential behavior pattern, this paper studied the rural heat-ing design temperature based on the site research. Results – Firstly, a site research is carried out taken rural region in south Liaoning province as an example, which in terms of the plain layout of yard and interior, residential behavior, residential cloth-ing and activity, indoor thermal environment, residential thermal sense and so on. Secondly, based on site research, the influence of current residential behavior pattern on their clothing and activity intensity is analyzed. Thirdly, the subordination relation curves between indoor temperature and thermal sense subsets are established by means of fuzzy theory. Key Findings / Implications – Based on maximum membership principle, rural residential heating design temperature is determined. And it is from 12 to 16 centigrade for master room. Originality - This paper will offer theoretical foundation to the design of heating system in rural new rural construction.
