Abstract:Creating a comfortable indoor environment in education buildings is an important design objective. Climate change has resulted in rising summer indoor temperatures in the severe cold regions of China, and evidence of summer overheating risk in these regions has not yet been fully investigated. This study presents evidence of overheating in a university building in a severe cold region of China, discusses the potential of integrated shading devices for mitigating overheating, and proposes design ideas for the a… Show more
