Xiaofei Wang, Linke Yang, Qing Dai

Abstract


As global climate change intensifies and energy consumption rises, the need for optimizing building energy use and improving indoor thermal comfort has become more pressing. This study explores how dynamic heat dissipation principles and thermal comfort standards can guide the optimization of building interior design parameters, aiming to enhance thermal. The research analyzes meteorological data from various climate zones and evaluates the thermal performance of buildings using Predicted Mean Vote and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied indicators. Simulation experiments on several building models show that optimizing design parameters such as window openings, shading, natural ventilation, and material thermal conductivity significantly improves thermal comfort. In regions with hot summers and cold winters, increasing natural ventilation and enhancing the thermal conductivity of exterior walls can help maintain a PMV between -0.5 and 0.5, with PPD below 10%. Furthermore, dynamic heat dissipation principles can reduce air conditioning usage by 15%-25%. This study presents a set of optimized interior design strategies tailored for different climate regions, providing valuable insights for future energy-efficient architectural design.
