一项新的研究将探讨如何设计包括学校在内的公共建筑以使用可持续的制冷和供暖技术,并帮助新西兰实现其2050年净零目标。

坎特伯雷大学土木与自然资源工程系高级讲师吴文涛博士正在领导这项国际研究,该研究旨在通过提高大型建筑物的能源效率来减少碳排放。

他获得了皇家学会Te Aparangi Catalyst的资助,旨在研究建筑行业如何利用自然通风和太阳能等可再生能源来提高热质量(室内家具和混凝土地板的吸热潜力)的能量性能,建造 “低碳建筑”。

吴博士说:“全球变暖促使我们寻找碳中和的解决方案。”

目前,新西兰建筑业占我们碳排放总量的9%,政府已承诺到2050年实现温室气体净零排放。

吴博士正在与来自五个国家的六所大学的研究人员合作领导该项目,包括美国的哈佛大学、英国的加的夫大学和中国的重庆大学。

吴博士说,设计低排放建筑的一种解决方案是在夜间使用较冷的外部空气来通风建筑物内的空间。

他认为,在冬季,可以用放置在混凝土地板内的太阳能加热水管代替传统的电加热系统。

他希望制定设计和改造指南,帮助决策者、建筑师和建筑商建造更节能的建筑,减少该行业的碳排放。

吴博士最近在美国进行了一项由美国国家科学基金会资助的研究,该研究证明了使用夜间通风系统冷却建筑物内部以便第二天可以充当散热器的有效性。
