Effects of envelope energy saving strategies on different rooms in residential building

The effects of envelope energy saving strategies on air conditioner (AC) peak load and electric consumption of different direction rooms are different, it's necessary to study the influence level of each strategy so that the local dwellers and designers can select the most suitable energy saving strategies according to the orientation. This paper used eQUEST software to simulate the effects of different strategies on AC peak load and electric consumption of different direction rooms in residential building in hot summer and cold winter zone of china based on the previous paper called "Effects of envelope energy saving strategies on energy consumption in residential building". Six different direction bedrooms of middle floor are selected to analyze the envelope energy saving strategies which include interior insulation, solar absorption coefficient of exterior wall, area ratio of windows to wall, the glazing categories, window inner shading, envelope shading and one combined stategy.
