The Wujin Demonstration building was used as a case study for the International Energy Agency Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme.
High Priority Research Themes:
Integrated planning and building design
Building energy systems
Building envelope
Community scale methods
Real building energy use
Project Objectives:
The two main objectives for the project are:
To provide a scientific basis for the design and operational strategies of buildings that have minimal energy consumption, and at the same time maintain very high standards regarding indoor environmental quality based on the control of sources, sinks and flows of heat, air, moisture, and pollutants under in-use conditions.
To collect and provide data about properties for transport, retention and emission of chemical substances in new and recycled materials under the influence of heat and moisture transfer.High Priority Research Themes
The International Energy Agency is a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organisation, established in 1974, that provides policy recommendations, analysis and data on the global energy sector.
