Application of Cadna/A software to the prediction of traffic noise on residential envelope sound insulation

The primary issue influencing residential structures' interior sound insulation environments is urban traffic noise. When choosing sound insulation for residential windows and doors, it is essential to consider the influence of road traffic noise. In conjunction with the examples, a three-dimensional simulation prediction model is created early on using Cadna/A software, and it is configured in accordance with the measured data of the road environmental noise to predict the sound pressure level of the outer surface of the residential building's enclosure structure at various locations and floors. This serves as a foundation for choosing the residential building's interior sound-insulated windows and doors as well as for the building's construction. In order to confirm that interior doors and windows are structurally sound-insulated, sound insulation measurements of typical residential sample buildings are made later in the building process.It offers some reference value for using Cadna/A in the assessment and forecasting of traffic noise's impact on the soundproofing of residential building envelopes.

Carbon-mechanic dual-control design decision model of prefabricated structural components

Prefabricated enclosure structures (PES) have become the key technology for low-carbon construction in the engineering field due to their low labor demand, fast construction speed, and low environmental pollution. In the context of low-carbon development, efficiently designing PES that not only possess high-strength but also demonstrate significant greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction benefits has become a critical challenge. The objective of this study is to address the challenges of automated design and scientific decision-making methods for PES components. First, the Carbon-mechanic dual-control assessment model (CDAM) is proposed, providing a novel evaluation dimension for the design of prefabricated components. Subsequently, based on the CDAM, an automated design decision-making process, and model for components are established using an improved genetic algorithm and parameterized method. Finally, under the constraints of actual engineering conditions, adaptive solutions were automatically generated for specific cases. These solutions were comprehensively evaluated and optimized using CDAM, resulting in design guidelines and optimal solutions for PES that balance environmental performance and load-bearing capacity. The case analysis results show that the optimal scheme based on the carbon-mechanic dual-control (CM) index is: the sectional dimension is 830 mm, the reinforcement ratio is 0.9 % and the cavity ratio is 45 %, which shows the ideal characteristics of low-carbon and high-strength. Compared with the single index decision scheme, this scheme achieve a maximum of 42 % GHG emissions reduction. The high comprehensive performance scheme is characterized by small sectional dimension, high reinforcement ratio, and high cavity ratio. Cavity ratio is a key parameter to achieve high performance design. The research findings provide an important theoretical basis and technical support for the low-carbon transformation in the engineering field.

Optimization of glass spray tempering parameters based on response surface methodology and economic analysis

Glass curtain walls have gained significant popularity as building enclosure structures, owing to their exceptional performance. Consequently, it becomes imperative to reduce energy consumption during the glass tempering process to ensure sustainable development within the construction industry. In this study, an experimental design was conducted using the response surface methodology (RSM). The particle count and cooling energy consumption were selected as the response value, while the influencing factors included four process parameters, namely, the spray distance (H), mist load fraction (f), spray pressure (p), and final cooling temperature (Tz). The second order model fitting of the RSM was used to obtain the polynomial regression equation between each response and each factor. Under the optimized conditions of H = 200 mm, f = 1.03, p = 0.5 MPa, and Tz = 150 °C, the number of fractured glass particles was found to be 234, and the cooling energy consumption was 0.00048 kW·h. Further analysis indicated that under these spray conditions, the net present value was 523.90 k$, and the dynamic payback period was 1.1 years. Compared to traditional air-cooled tempering, spray tempering demonstrated superior economic performance.

Effect of connection modes on seismic responses of a diaphragm wall-subway station system subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences

Most existing seismic behavior analyses of underground structures simply consider a single earthquake. Meanwhile, the diaphragm wall, as an enclosure structure, is regarded as a security reserve and is always ignored in current studies. Herein, the characteristics of a diaphragm wall-subway station system with different connection modes under earthquake sequences were investigated using numerical simulation. The damage degree of the structural component was calculated through quantitative analysis of the tensile damage picture. The seismic damage level of the station structure was evaluated to characterize the damage transition effect induced by the aftershock according to the inter-story drift angle. Moreover, an empirical model for predicting the inter-story drift angle with respect to different peak accelerations was proposed. The research results indicate that the effect of the connection mode between the sidewall and the diaphragm wall on the damage evolution and deformation behavior of the station structure is significant. Compared with that of the compound wall structure, the seismic damage to the sidewall of the composite wall structure is much less severe, but the slabs become more vulnerable and suffer more severe damage. The accumulative damage triggered by aftershocks aggravates the extent of structural damage and even leads to damage transition. The conclusions illustrated in this paper contribute to a better understanding of the seismic resistance design of diaphragm wall-subway station systems under earthquake sequences.

Humidity-Controlling Ceramic Bricks: Enhancing Evaporative Cooling Efficiency to Mitigate Urban Heat Island Effect

Passive evaporative cooling technology using the building envelope is a crucial measure to mitigate the urban heat island effect. This study aims to enhance the cooling efficiency of the surface of enclosure structures by utilizing volcanic ash, potassium–sodium stone powder, and silica-based mesoporous oxide (SMO) as primary materials. These components are incorporated into the ceramic brick production process to create innovative humidity-controlling ceramic bricks (HCCTs). This study extensively investigates the impact of SMO and the amount of applied glaze on the physical and mechanical characteristics of these HCCTs. Additionally, it examines the water absorption and evaporative cooling properties of the studied materials under optimal substitution conditions. Numerical calculations are used to determine the heat and moisture transfer properties of HCCTs. The results indicate that incorporating 2% SMO and applying 70 g/m2 of glaze results in a moisture absorption capacity of 385 g/m2 and a moisture discharge capacity of 370 g/m2. These conditions also yield a notable flexural strength of 15.2 MPa. Importantly, the HCCTs exhibit significantly enhanced capillary water absorption and water retention capabilities. Increased water absorption reduces surface temperature by 2–3 °C, maintaining the evaporative cooling effect for 20 to 30 h. It is also found that the temperature of HCCTs decreases linearly with increasing water content and porosity, while the temperature difference gradually decreases with thickness. Water migration in HCCTs with greater thickness is notably influenced by gravity, with water moving from top to bottom. Therefore, it is recommended that brick thickness does not exceed 15 mm.

Psychological Motivation Analysis of Farmers' Collective Energy-saving Behavior and Influence of Intervention Effect

The poor thermal performance of rural buildings in northern China and the serious pollution caused by loose coal combustion are practical problems that need to be solved urgently. In order to solve the two problems, this paper analyzed the current situation of the envelope structure of rural houses in the north of our country and the commonly used heating forms of farmers. It was found that the envelope structure of most rural houses did not take heat preservation measures and needed to be transformed to save energy. The commonly used heating systems for farmers are coal furnaces, hanging kang, earth heating, etc., and the wealthier rural areas use biogas or straw gasification for central heating, but there are still various problems to be improved in these systems. In order to improve the thermal performance of the farmers' building structure, the thermal performance measurement and energy-saving transformation of the enclosure structure of a typical farmer in Xiaoyi, Shanxi Province were carried out. Before the energy-saving transformation, Energy Plus software simulation analysis shows that the typical farmer can save 60% of the heating energy consumption after the energy-saving transformation. Before and after the energy-saving transformation, the actual measurement results show that the heat transfer coefficient of the wall, window and roof decreased by 72.7%, 61.59% and 64.99% respectively from 2.3 times, 1.43 times and 2.11 times the national requirement limit. The performance of the envelope structure after the energy-saving transformation can meet the national requirements. The actual statistics show that the biomass fuel consumption per unit temperature difference before and after the transformation is saved by 66.74%, which indicates that the energy-saving transformation has achieved good results, and shows the accuracy of the Energy Plus model. The psychological intervention of energy-saving transformation proposed in this study helps to improve people's awareness of energy-saving, reduces anxiety and fear, and has a very good effect on the psychological intervention effect.

On crashworthiness design of hybrid metal–composite battery-pack enclosure structure

Considering the crashworthiness and lightweight of the battery-pack enclosure structure (BPE), this article demonstrates multi-objective optimization design of BPE subjected to extrusion conditions by using a validated numerical model and an analytical approach. BPE is made with a unique combination of three materials: a high-strength steel (HSS) surrounding enclosure, an aluminum below enclosure, and a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) upper enclosure. First, the constitutive model of BPE material was determined based on the results obtained in material testing, meanwhile, the structural extrusion analysis of the initial BPE was performed and validated by the published experimental data. Second, a contribution analysis method based on modified TOPSIS (MTOPSIS) is adopted to screen the design parameters of the optimal structure. Based on this, the mass of the BPE and the maximum extrusion deformation of the BPE are employed as objectives to establish an optimization mathematical model. Furthermore, improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization (IMOPSO) has been exerted as the optimization algorithm to conduct optimization design, the results show the optimization model has a better optimization level and fitting ability. Finally, the performance comparison results before and after model optimization show the crashworthiness performance can be improved significantly, while the lightweight performance of BPE is ensured.

Application of building prefabricated diaphragm walls: Mechanics-carbon dual-control parametric segmentation decision-making framework

As a crucial innovation in building below-grade envelope structures, prefabricated diaphragm walls (PDWs) require the integration of multi-layer information for effective segmentation. Existing decision-making approaches rely on a single condition, leading to significant disparities between decision outcomes and actual requirements. This study introduces the mechanic-carbon dual-control parametric segmentation decision-making (MCSD) framework for PDWs to integrate multi-layer information. MCSD framework firstly performs parametric characterization of PDW component shapes and local transport constraints. Refined numerical modeling is next employed to identify the dominant mechanical factors influencing segmentation decision-making. Optimization algorithm is developed to automatically generate feasible schemes. Finally, carbon assessment is utilized to identify optimal segmentation schemes. MCSD framework is verified by actual engineering and the following key findings are obtained. Compared to empirical methods, MCSD could quantitatively determine feasible segmentation positions across the entire surface of PDWs. Notably, MCSD reveals the competitive relationship between horizontal and longitudinal joints for the first time. By incorporating this mechanism for decision optimization, carbon dioxide equivalent could be reduced by up to 29.3%. Ultimately, MCSD transcends the traditional boundary between mechanics and carbon, enabling automated planning of PDW segmentation. This study provides scientific and quantitative guideline for the segmentation decisions of building prefabricated enclosure structures.

Time-Limited Aging Analysis of the Containment of Nuclear Power Plants without Monitoring Tendons

A prestressed concrete containment is the enclosure structure of a nuclear reactor that serves as the last physical barrier of a nuclear power plant (NPP) safety defense system. It plays a key role in the prestress time-limited aging analysis (TLAA) required for operating license extensions for NPPs. Considering prestress containment systems without long-term monitoring tendons in a nuclear power plant, the technical route for prestress TLAAs involves analyzing operating license extension regulations and in-service monitoring technical requirements for prestressed tendons performance. Using tendons based on theoretical calculations of prestress loss in a nuclear power plant and the minimum required value of prestress determined by numerical simulation, the theoretical predictive value can be compared with the minimum required value for prestressed steel tendons. This comparison can be used to evaluate the 20-year life extension of the prestress system and provide a reference for aging and life management of NPPs.

Development of a vibration-damping, sound-insulating, and heat-insulating porous sphere foam system and its application in green buildings

With the development of green buildings, people pay more attention to the quality of the indoor sound environment. The air sound insulation performance of floors and exterior walls plays a key role in today's green buildings. The thermal performance of the enclosure structure's floor and exterior wall heat transfer resistance is an important factor in reducing building carbon emissions in green buildings. The aim of this paper is to study the efficiency of the acoustic and thermal insulation of a foaming system with porous carbon balls and the combination of different structural ways of construction boards and external walls. The acoustic and thermal parameters of different sound insulation and thermal insulation systems designed with porous carbon sphere foam and inserted into the floors and exterior walls are compared to highlight the optimal structure. The theoretical and experimental tests showed that to improve the sound insulation performance of the floor, a sound insulation system needs to be placed on the surface of the floor in contact with the impact object and inlaid in the vertical gap in contact with the floor and the wall. Furthermore, it has been determined that the surface of the foam particle acoustic ball with micropores has good sound absorption performance. Finally, the high-quality building thermal insulation material with low thermal conductivity in any combination with the floor slabs and the external wall structure improves the thermal insulation performance.

Research on a Calculation Method for the Horizontal Displacement of the Retaining Structure of Deep Foundation Pits

The precise calculation and effective control of the horizontal displacement of deep foundation pit retaining structures are critical for foundation pit support design and construction. Based on stress–strain linear elastomer theory and considering the deformation coordination between an enclosure wall and its internal support member, a formula for the redundant restraint force acting on the retaining wall was derived through the unit load method and the principle of elastic superposition. Moreover, a method for calculating the horizontal displacement of the retaining structure of a deep foundation pit was formulated, which is convenient for engineering applications. The method can also be used to calculate the horizontal displacement of cantilevered and anchored retaining structures when the loading conditions of the deep foundation pit and the relevant parameters of the enclosure structure are known. A case study was conducted on a standard section with an excavation width H of 19.3 m and an excavation depth h of 17.8 m. The structural parameters of the enclosure wall, along with the elastic support stiffness coefficient and soil layer parameters of the pit, were inputted into a MATLAB calculation code. Then, four internal support constraint forces Fi and the calculated values for the horizontal displacement of the enclosure wall were obtained after running the code. The calculated curve closely matched the curve of values measured in the field. The horizontal displacements of the top of the wall of several cement–soil gravity enclosure structures mentioned in the literature were also calculated. The results of these calculations were then compared with the measured data and corresponding data from the literature. The examples provided clear evidence demonstrating that the proposed method is highly reliable for calculating the horizontal displacement of deep foundation pit enclosure structures.

Carbon emission reduction in public buildings of extreme cold regions: A study on enclosure structure and HVAC system parameter optimization

AbstractThe implementation of strategies aimed at curtailing energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings is of paramount importance. Priority should be accorded to the reduction of embodied carbon emissions from construction materials and operational carbon emissions during the usage phase. A public building situated in an extremely cold region is chosen as the subject of this study. An initial investigation is conducted into the impact of various enclosure structure materials on embodied carbon. The impact of different heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems on the total carbon emissions of public buildings are studied as well. The findings indicate that the amalgamation of W3 + R + G4 + H4 culminates in the least total carbon emissions. Upon establishing the foundational scheme for the public building, an optimization (nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II [NSGA II] and Criteria Importance Through Intercrieria Correlation [CRITIC]) of the enclosure structure parameters is initiated to examine the optimal parameters of the public building's enclosure structure. The findings reveal that a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient could trigger an increase in total carbon emissions. This is attributed to the fact that the carbon emissions embodied in the production process of these materials could potentially outweigh the reduction observed in operational carbon emissions. Further adjustments were also made to the parameters of the HVAC system in the buildings. The findings indicate that within the context of public buildings, given the presence of optimal parameters and an HVAC system that utilizes solar energy for both heating and cooling in the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air‐Conditioning Engineers, Inc. 6 A climatic zone, the efficiency of the cooling system can exert a significant influence on the operations carbon emissions reduction.

Deformation of Existing Shield Tunnel Adjacent to Deep Excavations: Simulation and Monitoring Analysis

Deep excavations near subway tunnels can induce deformation, necessitating a comprehensive investigation into causal factors and mitigation strategies. Field measurements were conducted to assess both vertical and horizontal displacements of existing tunnels near a deep excavation in Shenzhen. Utilizing a validated three-dimensional finite element model that considers structure−strata interactions, this study analyzes tunnel displacements, ground movements, diaphragm wall impacts and the sensitivity of enclosure structure parameters. The results indicate that tunnel deformation correlates with enclosure structure deformation, particularly near the center of the pit. Moreover, shallow soil excavation significantly affects the vertical displacement of shallow-buried tunnels. However, the design parameters of the existing enclosure structures inadequately limit tunnel displacement. Therefore, it is crucial to intensify vertical displacement monitoring in shallow tunnels during early excavation stages and to enhance horizontal displacement monitoring during later phases. Implementing measures such as optimizing central support design or retaining soil at the pit bottom helps control maximum horizontal displacement. While support stiffness plays a greater role than retaining wall thickness, its impact on deep excavation projects is limited.

Analysis of the effect of porosity on thermal conductivity with consideration of the internal structure of arbolite

A theoretical study of the effect of porosity and internal structure of the exterior envelope in the ANSYS and BLENDER software systems has been carried out in the paper. As an example of exterior enclosure structure, an arbolite block with porosity up to 20% and fiber structure in the direction along and across the heat flux, as well as randomly and at an angle of 45° was studied. As a result of the study, it was found that the significant effect of the heat flux dependence on the porosity of the material is the porosity of the block over 10%, which reached up to 5.92%, and with porosity up to 5% showed a difference of 1.3%. At the same time, the fiber structure also showed a significant difference from 8.16% to 15.33% depending on the fiber direction. At the same time, the analysis of the effect of porosity on the thermal conductive value also showed a difference of up to 15.33% for the same value of heat flux. At the same time, the influence of fiber structure shows an additional difference of up to 5.9%. The results of the study showed that the most thermally conductive arbolite blocks are, those in which the direction of fibers are located along (along the X axis) and at 45 ° relative to the structure of fibers across (along the Y axis) and random, the difference of which was up to 1.6%. The obtained results of this study, further excluding the costly experiments to determine the coefficient of thermal conductivity can be used to accurately estimate the coefficient of thermal conductivity of external envelopes made of arbolite blocks, considering porosity and fiber structure in the design of residential buildings.

Calculation of additional load and deformation of the receiving well enclosure structure caused by shield tunneling.

The bulkhead additional thrust during shield tunneling, the force of friction between shield and soil, and the additional grouting pressure can cause additional stress in the surrounding soil, thereby disturbing existing buildings and structures. However, few studies focused on the disturbance situation when the shield tunneling machine approaches the receiving well. If the additional stress and deformation of the receiving well are too excessive, it could result in the collapse of the receiving well. Based on the two-stage method, this study derived the calculation formula of the additional stress and deformation of the receiving well enclosure structure caused by shield tunneling. Taking a shield machine receiving engineering as the context, this study established a numerical simulation model and compared theoretical calculation, the results of numerical simulation model and on-site monitoring data. Finally, the additional stress of the receiving well is analyzed. The research findings demonstrate that the theoretical prediction results, numerical simulation calculation results, and on-site monitoring data exhibit relatively small calculation errors, which validated the applicability of the theoretical prediction formula and numerical simulation model. As the distance between the shield machine and the receiving well decreases, the disturbance to the receiving well increases sharply. When the distance between the cutter head and the receiving well is less than three times the shield length, it is crucial to enhance the deformation monitoring of the receiving well. The primary factors affecting the additional load and deformation of the receiving well enclosure structure are the force of friction between shield and soil and the additional thrust of the cutterhead. The disturbance caused by the additional grouting pressure on the enclosure structure can be ignored.

Generation and Characteristics of Construction Noise in Rail Transit Engineering Enclosure Structures

Rail transit is an important part of the urban transportation system, while the noise generated during construction seriously affects the engineering personnel and surrounding residents. To investigate the noise emissions and characteristics during the construction of the enclosure structures in the rail transit engineering project, an empirical study is conducted through on-site surveys, semi-structured interviews, and experimental monitoring. The results indicate that during enclosure structure construction, there are nine key noise-emitting machines and four key noise-generating construction processes. Among them, the equivalent average sound levels of six machines, including pneumatic hammers, pneumatic drills, concrete pump trucks, construction drills, rotary drilling rigs, and grooving machines, exceed 80 dB(A). The energy contribution rate curves of machine spectra peak at 63 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 4000 Hz, which have certain effects on construction personnel and nearby residents. Meanwhile, guide wall construction, groove construction, reinforcement cage fabrication and hoisting, and concrete pouring are identified as key noise-generating construction processes. This empirical investigation helps to establish a theoretical basis for noise control during the construction of enclosure structures in urban rail transit engineering projects, and the results provide valuable references for the formulation of auxiliary noise reduction measures.

Energy consumption analysis and optimization of cold stores considering differential electricity price

Despite the rapid development of cold stores, most cold store facilities exhibit high energy consumption. Reducing energy costs in cold stores is crucial for minimizing operating expenses and effectively managing the overall cold supply chain. Our objective is to optimize the operational strategy of cold stores based on differential pricing to minimize energy consumption. Firstly, we employ computational fluid dynamics simulation to model the operation of cold stores and determine optimal boundary conditions. Secondly, we propose a comprehensive method for accounting for cold stores' energy consumption by considering heat conduction from the enclosure structure and air seepage. Additionally, under the conditions of extra cool storage at a low electricity price, we divide the cold store operation process into four stages and establish a mathematical model for optimizing energy consumption throughout the entire operational cycle based on differential electricity pricing policies. Finally, three cities are selected for case analysis purposes. The results demonstrate that all three cities achieve an average energy saving level exceeding 8%, with Harbin city achieving over 18% savings specifically, thereby validating that our optimization model can yield superior results in northern cities characterized by significant diurnal temperature variations.

Определение коэффициента теплопроводности деревянных клееных конструкций с учетом макроструктуры и плотности древесины

The paper considers calculated and experimental methods of determining the thermal conductivity coefficient of wooden glued structures. The author shows that when designing the thermal protection of building enclosure structures in the form of CLT-panels or wooden glued laminated timber, one uses reference data on the thermal conductivity coefficient for pine or spruce. In practice, the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient may be less than the reference value; as a consequence, the thickness of the building enclosing structures is overestimated. This is not reasonable in terms of material intensity of construction. When considering wood as an anisotropic material, the peculiarities of the macrostructure and differences in the density of individual layers, as well as the wood species, should be taken into account when determining the parameters of structures. Based on the physical description of the thermal conductivity process and the fundamental laws of heat and mass transfer, the author proposes that it is necessary to adjust the results of calculations to the actual values of the thermal conductivity coefficient of multilayer wooden glued structures. The paper presents the results of experimental determination of the thermal conductivity coefficient of pine and aspen wood using steady-state and unsteady heat flow methods. It is shown that, depending on the density and wood species, experimental values of the thermal conductivity coefficient from 0.102 to 0.115 W·m-1∙K-1 can be obtained.

Study on the Mechanism of Water and Sand Leakage in a Foundation Pit Retaining Structure Based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete Element Method

The existence of defects in the enclosure structure is the primary cause of water and sand leakage in foundation pits, as well as being a significant source of danger in pit construction, but current research lacks an in-depth investigation of the generation mechanism and gestation process. In this paper, which comprehensively considers the microscopic particles and macroscopic level, the development mechanism of a water and sand leakage disaster in a foundation pit with a water-rich sand layer was studied using the principle of computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method coupled analysis (CFD–DEM); moreover, based on the anisotropy of the particle force and fluid energy analysis, the deformation of the stratum and ground stress field were analyzed. The results show that the stress field will produce a plugging effect at a certain distance from the defect, and the strata exhibit a dominant displacement tendency in the vertical direction, resulting in the emergence of a gradually concave stress relaxation zone and an elliptical contour in the strata displacement map near the defect. The fluid energy describes the displacement of the sand layer very well, and it is separated into the sand layer’s centralized loss region and the major loss area based on the high and low levels of the fluid energy class. The impact of fluid at the defect reaches the maximum kinetic energy, which penetrates the structural weakness and causes the loss of sand particles, and the cross-section of the water influx near the defect gradually expands with the loss of particles, indicating that there is a danger of further expansion of the defect under the impact of water flow. These results have technical implications for the management of water and sand leakage disasters in foundation pit engineering.

An Investigation of the Energy-Saving Optimization Design of the Enclosure Structure in High-Altitude Office Buildings

Concerning the double carbon national strategy, the energy-saving renovation of old buildings has become one of the most important tasks of energy conservation and emission reduction in construction in China. There are many problems, such as high energy consumption, thermal environment, and poor thermal comfort. Taking Lhasa as an example, this study adopts field research, questionnaire interviews, on-site measurements, numerical simulations, and other methods to propose suitable energy-saving potential excavation points and thermal optimization strategies for office building envelopes in Lhasa through software simulation. Additionally, typical office buildings are selected to carry out the energy-saving renovation of envelopes with the goal of improving indoor thermal comfort to validate the feasibility of the energy-saving renovation strategies. The results show the following: (1) The measured and predicted thermal neutral temperatures of the office population in Lhasa are 16.5 °C and 18.9 °C, respectively. The 90% acceptable temperature range is from 16.10 °C to 21.77 °C, and the occupants of the office buildings in Lhasa have a higher tolerance for cold than predicted. (2) The passive measures adapted to Lhasa are prioritized in the order of passive solar energy, high-heat-capacity materials, and nighttime ventilation. (3) Through the optimization of the enclosure structure of existing office buildings, the improvement of the heat storage capacity of the outer enclosure structure, and the increase in the window opening area to increase natural ventilation, the indoor thermal comfort of the renovated buildings is effectively improved.
