Features: Building energy efficiency is a fundamental trend in global architectural development under the current context of major survival and sustainable development challenges facing humanity. This book, based on China's newly promulgated building energy efficiency standards, addresses the country's geographical and architectural characteristics while emphasizing advanced international concepts of building energy efficiency. It focuses on introducing the principles and methods of energy conservation in architectural design, providing effective design references and approaches. The book includes ten chapters covering building energy efficiency design principles, relevant terminology, thermal calculations related to energy efficiency, energy-efficient design of building envelopes, heating energy efficiency design, refrigeration principles, building planning, and energy-efficient design of individual structures. This book is compiled in accordance with the training objectives and programs for undergraduate education in civil engineering and architecture, as well as the basic requirements for core course teaching. It can serve as a textbook for architecture and urban planning majors in higher education institutions and also be referenced by civil engineering designers and researchers.
