The Influence of Street Geometry on Building’s Energy Consumption in Different Climate Zones

This research explores the influence of different street geometry towards reducing the energy consumption in buildings by utilizing building energy simulation software. In different climate condition, the different street geometry has different influence on building’s energy consumption. This influence is quantified in this research. It is found that in three climate zones – Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the energy consumption of buildings is changed according to different H/W ratio of buildings. This finding determines that the optimum street geometry will be different in these climate zones. The designers should consider such difference before doing architecture or urban planning work. This research will also provide some suggestions and recommendations to the energy-efficient community design based on the findings.
