Energies, Vol. 12, Pages 2446: Study on the Suitability of Passive Energy in Public Institutions in China (Energies)

To solve the problem of the low utilization ratio of clean renewable energy in public institutions, the basic information of energy utilization in public institutions was investigated. The suitability of passive energy use in public institutions was studied. According to the basic information and evaluation index of passive energy utilization in public institutions, the suitability of different types of passive energy (solar and geothermal energy) was studied by combining the resource conditions in different climate zones and the characteristics of energy utilization in typical public institutions, and the suitability distribution map was formed. In terms of research methods, the CRITIC (Criteria Importance Though Intercrieria Correlation) method based on the characteristics of objective data, and the natural breakpoint method based on the structure of objective data, were selected. Based on the climatic zoning of the buildings, this study conducted a suitability zoning. Each climatic region of buildings was divided into three sub-regions, which were the passive energy suitability regions of public institutions in the climatic region of the buildings. Finally, all of the regions with the same suitability were partitioned in order to obtain the final results. The distribution map of suitability for the different types of public institution buildings in the different regions is creatively established, which provides the basis for the selection of passive energy technology application schemes for public institution buildings in different regions, and provides macro guidance for energy planners and scheme designers.
