A STUDY ON AC LOAD IMPACT BY AC PATTERN AND HEAT INSULATION METHOD OF SUPER HIGH–RISE RESIDENCES

This paper examines air-conditioning loads by several air-conditioning patterns and heat methods of asuper high-rise residence by using the dynamic simulation software THERB (the simulation softwareof the thermal environment of residential buildings) which can estimate temperature, humidity, sensibletemperature, and heating/cooling load for multiple zones of buildings. As high-rise residences, the ratiothat the structural skeleton dominates a floor area is bigger than that of ordinary residences, and itsskeleton is used concrete generally. Heat capacity has a considerable impact on air-conditioning loadof high-rise residences. Meanwhile, aspects of air-conditioning style, heat insulation style, structuralform and building direction affect to air-conditioning load of high-rise residences significantly.Recently, high-rise residences are to be more and more important factor in our life with its rapiddevelopment. It is respected that most people will chose high-rise residences, because of itspopularization. Therefore, we must reduce energy consumption for keeping environment load reductionin high-rise residences. Based on above mentioned, heat environment impact on high-rise residenceswill become an important issue in our society.
