Indoor environment of nearly zero energy residential buildings with conventional air conditioning in hot-summer and cold-winter zone
According to the few researches on Nearly zero energy residential buildings (NZERB) in hot-summer and cold-winter zone, although it could reduce the cooling load of buildings due to its high thermal insulation and air tightness, it still needed for certain cooling in summer.

| description | According to the few researches on Nearly zero energy residential buildings (NZERB) in hot-summer and cold-winter zone, although it could reduce the cooling load of buildings due to its high thermal insulation and air tightness, it still needed for certain cooling in summer. This paper studied indoor environment of NZERB under three kinds of air-conditioners (split-type air-conditioner, multi-line air-conditioner and ceiling radiant air-conditioner). Firstly, a simulation model of NZERB was established based on Nanjing, a typical city in hot-summer and cold-winter zone. Secondly, variation of indoor air temperature and building load characteristics with outdoor air temperature were studied. Thirdly, indoor environment and energy consumption under three selected conventional air-conditioners in summer were simulated. Finally, the discussion was given, and an air-conditioner combining with convective and radiant cooling were proposed. The results indicated that the air-conditioner needed to be turned on in NZERB in hot-summer and cold-winter zone due to the room air temperature in off-air condition ranged from 32 °C to 36 °C, which was higher than designed indoor environment temperature in summer, but the indoor environment of NZERB under three selected conventional air-conditioners could not meet the requirements of energy saving and comfort at the same time, and a proposed convective-radiant air-conditioner could be fast, stable, and energy saving. The findings can provide a reference for conducting active technology in NZERB. |
