LEED GREEN ASSOCIATE STUDY GUIDE ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE
Energy Modeling
There are many aspects of how a building is designed, constructed, and operated that can impact its energy use. A building's energy use is understood by comparing it to the energy use of a relevant baseline. For new construction, this baseline is set using industry benchmarks based on a large set of performance data from similar buildings in the same climate region. For existing buildings, this baseline is set based on the building's historical energy use.
建筑的设计、建造与运营方式,会从多方面影响其能耗水平。可通过与**基准能耗**对比,判断建筑的能耗表现。新建建筑的基准值,基于同一气候区域内同类建筑的大量性能数据、行业标准设定;既有建筑的基准值,基于自身历史能耗数据设定。
Green Building Strategies
After establishing a relevant energy?performance baseline (for the project's size, location, and use), green building projects set energy?performance goals to reduce projected energy use relative to that baseline.
绿色建筑项目会先结合项目规模、区位、使用功能,建立合理的能耗基准,再设定能效目标,降低相对基准值的预估能耗。
Green buildings implement energy efficiency strategies that are cost efficient for the specific project. To do so, an engineer or energy consultant will develop an energy model, which is a computer model of the building that can simulate energy consumption over the course of a year. This model allows project teams to understand the impact of different potential energy efficiency strategies on projected energy use.
绿色建筑会采用适配本项目、具备成本效益的节能策略。工程师或能源顾问需搭建**能耗模型**,即模拟建筑全年能耗的计算机模型,帮助项目团队评估不同节能策略对预估能耗的影响。
The model estimates energy use based on:
能耗模型基于以下维度估算能耗:
- Each of the building systems
- 建筑各系统性能
- How the project will be used and operated day to day
- 建筑日常使用与运营模式
- Local weather data
- 当地气象数据
The energy model helps project teams quantify how much energy a building is expected to save by comparing two models of the same basic building.
通过对比同一建筑的两组模型,能耗模型可量化建筑预期节能量。
Energy model cases
能耗模型类型
Base case
基准模型
A building model (for the project's size, location, and use) with energy features that meet minimum required energy codes.
满足最低节能规范要求的建筑模型(匹配项目规模、区位、使用功能)
Design case
设计模型
A building model (with the same size, location, and use as the base case), that includes solutions for achieving the project's energy?performance goals.
与基准模型参数一致,包含实现项目能效目标的节能方案
For new construction, project teams go through multiple iterations of the energy model during the design process, using the model to compare scenarios and manage system interactions and tradeoffs.
新建建筑在设计阶段,需对能耗模型进行多轮迭代,对比不同设计方案,统筹系统联动关系与取舍平衡。
