The scarcity of energy resources has made human beings constantly aware of the importance of energy conservation. At present, all kinds of passive energy-saving strategies are promoted in all walks of life, trying to achieve the purpose of energy conservation through different ways. Especially in buildings, the advantages of this passive energy saving strategy are even more obvious.
Reduce costs
In the long run, passive energy-saving design can help buildings achieve a certain degree of energy self-sufficiency. Although a certain amount of capital and technical investment is required for upfront construction, the effects of insulation materials, solar energy harvesting devices and energy management devices can reduce the marginal cost of helping the building reduce energy in the long run.
Sustainability
Passive energy-saving design not only achieves a certain amount of energy self-sufficiency, but also reduces a part of carbon emissions, which can reduce the impact on the environment. In addition, with the development of carbon capture technology, if the relevant technology can be further integrated into the design of energy-efficient buildings, it will be able to further improve the efficiency of carbon capture and enhance sustainable development.
Enhance the occupant experience
Passive energy-saving design pays attention to the purpose of energy saving through the function of the building itself. Taking natural ventilation as an example, through active ventilation, the circulation efficiency of indoor air can be improved, the residence time of indoor pollutants can be reduced, and the damage to the body can be reduced. On the other hand, energy-saving buildings themselves have a more efficient application of green resources, which can be used to actively regulate indoor humidity and temperature; This reduces dependence on energy and improves the comfort of occupants.
Improve energy efficiency
The energy-efficient building itself is a huge energy production device, which can be used to extract natural energy and improve energy efficiency through a variety of technologies. In particular, the two major applications of solar and wind energy can be combined with the geographical location of the building to improve energy efficiency through design agencies.
In response to the trend of global warming, the development of energy-efficient buildings can help human beings better achieve the goal of sustainable development. In the future, greener and smarter building solutions will emerge with the birth of new technologies.
