Abstract

Under the background of the current national regulations and the goal of “double carbon”, it is necessary to start from the shape design of high-rise residential buildings in cold regions to reduce building energy consumption. This study summarizes the key elements of high-rise residential shape design in cold regions through field research and data collection, and uses Grasshopper platform to simulate energy consumption to explore the influence of plane form, building height and plane size on building energy consumption. Based on the weight order of shape design elements, the research results show that the rectangular plane form with a building floor height of 3m, a building floor of 18 floors, a plane length of 67m, and a plane width of 12.1m is the most energy-saving design choice for high-rise residential buildings in cold regions. Through case verification, the energy saving rate of the optimized house is 5.5% higher than that of the original house, which verifies the feasibility of energy saving optimization of shape design. The research results can provide some reference for the shape design of future high-rise residential buildings in cold regions.
