An assessment model of lifecycle energy consumption in resident buildings and case study

With increasing of building energy consumption in China, the role of green architecture in the sustainable development of construction industry is more and more important. As the living standard of people improved, together with high-demand of comfort level, the energy consumption of resident buildings which are so closely related to our lives tends to increase rapidly. In this situation, we should pay more attention to reducing energy consumption in resident buildings. Based on total life cycle theory, this paper has further explicated the calculation of energy consumption in each stage of resident buildings and set up an assessment model. The assessment accuracy will be raised under a series of assessment index defined in the model. It lays the foundation for resident buildings energy conservation, at the same time, promotes the sustainable development.
