Development and research of green building environment design and thermal energy management integrated system based on virtual reality technology

Abstract

Amid the escalating global climate change issue, environmental design and thermal management have emerged as research focal points. Leveraging virtual reality (VR) technology’s immersive and interactive advantages, this study developed an integrated system for green building environment design and thermal energy management. By analyzing green building design needs and exploring VR’s architectural application potential, a thermal energy management system integrating sensor, data processing, and intelligent control technologies was constructed. Field experiments in a green building project demonstrated that VR technology enhanced energy consumption prediction accuracy by 20% and shortened the design cycle by 30%. The system also achieved a 15% reduction in energy consumption, optimizing thermal management. This research not only created an efficient integrated system but also proposed energy - saving strategies, promoting green building sustainability.
