Abstract

Since the release of the “Evaluation Standard for Green Industrial Buildings” in 2013 and “Unified Standard for Energy Efficiency Design of Industrial Buildings” in 2017, the field of industrial buildings in China has officially entered a new era of energy-saving and emission reduction. Energy consumption in severe cold area is a prominent problem due to the low temperature environment. However, studies on the combination of climate change and the diversity of skylight forms for industrial buildings are still insufficient. As a common structural element in green industrial buildings, the forms of skylights have a significant influence on building energy consumption. This paper focuses on three common skylight forms: flat skylight, trapezoidal skylight and rectangular skylight. It studies the influence of these forms on energy consumption in single-story industrial buildings situated in severe cold area. Through experimental simulation method, the influence of different skylight forms on energy consumption is comparatively studied by using Design Builder energy consumption simulation software. This method provides a scientific foundation and practical guidance for energy-saving design. The simulation results show that flat skylight has the lowest total annual building energy consumption of 2.59 million KWh, while rectangular skylight has the highest of 2.67 million KWh. The total energy consumption of buildings is made up of five components, with heating energy consumption being the highest at 71%.
