“…Modular Design Method. One of the most important aspects of green design is modularity [21]. Modular design classifies the function, performance, specifications of the product design, and different selection and combination of functional modules, in order to achieve different functional requirements.…”

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the impact of human beings on the environment is becoming more and more serious but also facing the crisis of resource exhaustion. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters has sounded the alarm to human beings, and people are paying more and more attention to the concept of green ecology. There is a close relationship between people and the environment, the development of industry, and the abuse of resources, so that today’s ecological environment has been greatly damaged, people’s requirements for the environment are constantly improving, and people’s environmental awareness is also increasing. While vigorously strengthening environmental management, the government also put forward the “people-oriented” sustainable development strategy. Along with the development of The Times, the art of graphic design is an important service in the field of the society, serves people, is the service life of important activities, its art function must keep pace with The Times, should not only meet the needs of The Times, and to be able to meet the needs of The Times, and to be able to meet the needs of the market. More should make full use of the function of the design to influence and change the society through design ideas, to advocate environmental protection, to improve people’s thinking patterns and values, and to change those production and life styles that deviate from sustainable development. Therefore, this article will discuss and analyze the modern painting from the artistic concept, art education, green environment concept, green design, and so on.

“…For example, the energy-saving effect of a similar control strategy is different for the same central air conditioning if the geographical location of the building is different [29]. In addition, building orientation, area of the room, building structure materials and colors, etc., would all affect energy consumption [30]. Khan et al evaluated the energy-saving performance of the integrated use of phase change materials (PCM) in building envelopes and concluded that it is economically feasible to implement PCM in building envelope structures in some areas [31].…”

An Energy-Saving Regulation Framework of Central Air Conditioning Based on Cloud–Edge–Device Architecture

et al. 2023

As energy plays a fundamental role in our modern life and most of a building’s energy is used for air conditioning, understanding the sustainable regulation theory of central air conditioning remains a significant scientific issue. In view of three shortcomings of existing energy-saving regulation methods of central air conditioning: (1) few studies on low-latency, high-reliability, and safer energy-saving control operation modes, (2) lack of consideration for human comfort, and (3) insufficient analysis of the comprehensive impact of the human–machine–environment, this paper proposes an energy-saving control framework of central air conditioning based on cloud–edge–device architecture. The framework establishes a prediction model of human comfort based on recurrent neural network. An intelligent energy-saving control strategy is proposed to ensure indoor personnel’s thermal comfort, considering the human–machine–environment factors. This study provides a basis for better understanding the sustainable control theory of building central air conditioning. Finally, the experiment proves that the proposed method can effectively reduce the energy consumption of central air conditioning. Compared with traditional regulation approaches, the proposed real-time control strategy can save up to 91% of energy consumption, depending on the environment, and advance control strategies can save an average of 4%.

“…Torreggiani et al [ 27 ] showed that direction had an effect on indoor temperature through simulation calculation. Chi et al [ 28 ] rotated traditional residential buildings clockwise by 20°. Through simulation calculation and comparisons of temperature, humidity, and lighting in 18 sets of data, the research results showed that the best angle was S and the worst angle was N-W80 for the whole year, and the difference in building electricity consumption between the two was 150 kWh.…”

In China, research on winter heating and energy saving for residential buildings mainly focuses on urban residences rather than rural ones. According to the 2018 China Building Energy Consumption Research Report, rural residential buildings emit about 423 million tons of carbon, accounting for 21% of the country’s total carbon emissions. According to the research on China’s greenhouse gas inventory, the main sources of carbon emissions in rural areas are from cooking and the burning of fuelwood and biomass for heating in winter. In this study, the southern Shaanxi area, which is hot in summer and cold in winter, was selected as the research site, and a fire wall system was planned that combines cooking and heating facilities in residential buildings. The system uses the heat generated by cooking and the heat storage capacity of the wall, as well as the principle of thermal radiation and heat convection, to increase the indoor temperature. The advantage is that the hot air generated is mainly concentrated in the inside of the wall, which reduces the direct contact with the cold outdoor air and avoids excess heat loss. In this study, in addition to considering the influence of the cooking fire wall system on the indoor temperature, the difference in the outer wall with or without solar thermal radiation was also considered. The research results show that the use of a cooking fire wall heating system reduces the annual heat load of the building to 440.8318 KW·h, which is a reduction rate of 7.91%. When there is solar radiation on the outer wall, the annual thermal load of the building is reduced by 1104.723 kW·h, and the reduction rate is 19.84%.
