Outline of Final Research Achievements

A series of research made for the period of three years on the built-environmental and community systems for the rational use of natural exergy resources revealed the following: 1) preference of decreasing the room temperature in summer is very much related to the availability of cool radiant exergy; 2) thermal insulation of pipework brings about a significant reduction of exergy consumption; 3) thermal insulation of pipework is important in reducing the amount of biomass to be harvested; comfort temperature in office space was confirmed to correlate very well with monthly average outdoor temperature; 5) occupants’ behavior such as putting on more clothing in winter results in a reduction of human-body exergy consumption rate.
