Improving Energy Efficiency and Indoor Thermal Comfort: A Review of Passive Measures for Building Envelope
Construction consumed a large proportion of energy, accounting for about 40 percent of global energy consumption. However, a large part of the building's energy consumption is considered to improve indoor thermal comfort. Recent research showed that the application of passive envelope measures can effectively improve the thermal performance of building envelope and reduce the demand for active system, providing effective solutions for improving energy conservation and indoor thermal comfort. This paper provides a review on improving building energy efficiency and indoor thermal comfort by passive measures implemented to the building envelope in recently decade. In this review paper, firstly, the concept of indoor thermal comfort is introduced. Then, the review of the three specific passive envelope measures for improving energy efficiency and indoor thermal comfort is presented. Finally, a few useful recommendations for future work are presented for greater improvement.
