| description | Abstract The issue of high energy consumption in exhibition buildings has long been a focal point in the field of architectural design. However, current energy consumption assessments for exhibition buildings mainly focus on post-construction evaluations, lacking corresponding guidance during the initial design phase. To address this issue, this study selected 48 well-known exhibition buildings both domestically and internationally as research subjects. Utilizing scatter plot curve fitting, it was discovered that there exists a nonlinear quadratic relationship between the building area of the first floor and the courtyard area. Based on this relationship, four typical layouts were established to match the climatic characteristics of Hangzhou, a representative region in the Yangtze River Delta of China. Taking into account regional architectural features, the study specifically examined the impact of different orientations and window-to-wall ratios on energy consumption levels. The influence of these factors on energy consumption was analyzed using the DesignBuilder software. The results revealed that there exists an optimal window-to-wall ratio for exhibition buildings, with parallel, L-shaped enclosed south-facing courtyards, and U-shaped enclosed east-facing courtyards showing greater energy efficiency. This research provides guidance for designing exhibition buildings that are energy-efficient and foster a harmonious indoor–outdoor relationship. |
