Abstract:Currently the palisade structure of the grassland dwelling houses in the western region of Inner Mongolia performs poorly,including high energy consumption and poor indoor thermal environment which causes severe pollution problems.To make efficient use of solar energy to effectively solve these problems,this research based on the efficient utilization of solar energy to build local-style grassland dwelling houses for western Inner Mongolia with ultra-low power consumption.This can be achieved using the abundant solar energy resources,combined with the traditional fire brick beds,heating system of hot water circulation withsolar energy ,the residential orientation,optimisation of insulation layer of external wall and roof insulation layer.through numerical simulation and comprehensive evaluation.The results showed that compared with the traditional residential houses,the energy consumption of ultra-low-energy grassland residential houses was reduced by 10 146.36 kw ·h,and the energy consumption reduction rate was 83.36%,a significantly reduction in the energy consumption.The average indoor temperature in heating period increased by 8.72 ℃,the PMV value increased by 1.91,with a great improvement in the indoor thermal comfort.The incremental benefit cost ratio was 1.375,which increased the economic benefits.The emissions of CO2,SO2,nox and soot were reduced by 9,956,32.3,28.12 and 20.9 kg during the entire heating period.The new ultra-low-energy design would effectively promote the green development of farming and pastoral areas.
