Abstract :
For Tibet, sustainable development requires cheap, secure and environmental-friendly energy supply and use. None of the current energy options, including cow dung, coal, and natural gas, and the current ways of their use for heating could fully meet the needs of growing economy and sustainability requirements. Evolutionary changes in the current energy systems to improve efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas per unit output are the most important first step in the sustainable development. The paper firstly analyzed Lhaza´s weather conditions and data of the indoor temperature measure in a typical multi-storey residential building in the summer and winter. Then it separately demonstrated the feasibility and desirability of solar energy heating in the building of plateau city from the technical level and economic level. Lastly, from the management level, the paper raises to set up highly efficient management tools between people (users, designers and managers) and the solar energy building, namely, education and training tools, decision-making support tools and decision-making assessment tools. Tibet should continue to develop education and training tools in order to strengthen local people to create awareness of adopting solar energy.
