Research on passive low carbon design strategy of highway station in hunan

Abstract

This paper analyzed public building energy consumption and climate characteristics in Hunan province. It is proposed that passive LC (low carbon) design of highway station in Hunan province should focus on both natural daylighting, shading and natural ventilation. Based on the different design strategies, including daylighting, shading and natural ventilation, it is proposed that passive LC technology strategies, such as atrium, skylight combining the natural ventilation, caused by thermal pressure, should be used in order to reduce the emission of highway station in Hunan area. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg.
