jailcd2023025: Energy consumption of rural residential buildings in East and Central China

Abstract

The rural residences with substantial quantity and required plenty of energy cost in China were selected as the research subjects in this work. Thanks to high electricity use and village density, as well as complicated pattern of building energy consumption in East and Central China, East and Central China was chosen as the research region. The Sizhai traditional village located in the east of Zhejiang Province, included in the scope of research region, was recorded in the First Edition of Chinese Traditional Villages’ Catalog, with large scale and well-protected conditions. The traditional dwellings in this village were chosen as the representative house samples for researching the energy behaviors in the rural residences. In this work, based on the data collection and filed investigation, we have researched the energy consumption of rural residential buildings in East and Central China.
