Abstract
- With the rapid development of urbanization in recent years, the area and energy consumption of public buildings are also growing rapidly. As a special comprehensive public building, hospital buildings are characterized by high energy consumption, complex structure and high power of equipment. With China's "carbon neutral, carbon peak" goal and the continuous upgrading and improvement of the medical environment, how to reduce the energy consumption of hospitals is also increasingly important. This paper analyzes the climatic characteristics of the hot summer and warm winter region and the energy consumption characteristics of hospitals in this region, then evaluates them and proposes two energy-saving and carbon-reducing measures, namely, photovoltaic power generation and roof greening. Finally, EnergyPlus simulation is used to study the specific cooling savings of using green roofs and analyze the carbon reduction under different percentages of photovoltaic power generation. The results of the thesis have certain application value for energy saving and carbon reduction in general hospitals in hot summer and warm winter areas. • Characteristics of energy consumption of general hospital in hot summer and warm winter region are analyzed. • The carbon emissions of these hospitals were calculated and analyzed and energy saving options were proposed. • Use EnergyPlus to simulate its green roof and calculate its cooling savings and carbon reduction. • Green roofs can save up to 11.7% of cooling. • Photovoltaic (PV) power generation can reduce total carbon emissions, and when the share of PV power generation varies from 10% to 20%, the total carbon emissions can be reduced by 13.79% to 27.43%.
