Under the impact of COVID-19 and the needs for urban expansion, a large number of outpatient buildings have been rapidly constructed, but the problem of high energy consumption has always been ignored. There is a lack of research on the adaptability of building shape in different climate zones. Many studies have shown that a reasonable shape in the early stage of design can significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings. Therefore, it helps if architects quickly select a reasonable shape that can effectively reduce energy consumption. This study summarized a number of outpatient building cases in China and proposed three typical building shapes: centralized-type (Shape-1), corridor-type (Shape-2), and courtyard-type (Shape-3). The Design Builder tool was used to simulate and analyze the typical building energy consumption in different climate zones. The simulation results show that Shape-2 (angle: 0°) should be chosen in severe cold zone; Shape-1 (angle: 90°) should be chosen in cold zone; Shape-1 (angle: 0°) should be chosen in hot summer and cold winter zone; Shape-1 (angle: 60°) should be chosen in hot summer and warm winter zone; and Shape-1 or Shape-2 can be chosen in warm zone. The results of this study can provide suggestions for the energy saving design of outpatient buildings in China and other areas with similar conditions. The result can help architects make rapid shape selection in the early stage of design.

“…Openings on the opposite north-oriented facade allow for cross-ventilation, effectively cooling the internal spaces, as illustrated in Figure 3d. During winter days with abundant solar radiation, it is advisable to close the air vents on both the glazing and the massive wall to create a greenhouse effect in the air layer, raising temperature levels [72]. SDs should not be used to maximize solar gains [73].…”

Solar walls provide transformative solutions by harnessing solar energy to generate electricity, improve thermal comfort, and reduce energy consumption and emissions, contributing to zero-energy buildings and mitigating climate change. In hot and humid regions, solar walls can reduce indoor temperatures by 30% to 50%, significantly improving energy efficiency. Optimizing the performance of solar walls includes factors such as glazing, shading, solar orientation, ventilation, and catalytic techniques, allowing them to be adapted to different climates. Innovative solar wall variants that include photovoltaic panels, water storage, and phase-change materials offer multifunctionality and sustainability in building design and are in line with global energy efficiency and environmentally conscious goals. In addition, innovative solar wall variants that combine photovoltaic panels, water storage, and phase-change materials promise even more sustainability in building design. These multifunctional solar wall systems can efficiently heat, cool, and generate energy, further reducing a building’s environmental impact. Solar walls have the potential to significantly reduce heating energy consumption; align with global goals for energy-efficient, environmentally conscious, and climate-responsive building design; and offer dynamic and adaptable solutions for sustainable architecture.

“…At present, there is still a large enough share of the housing stock and industrial facilities built according to the old standards, which require immediate reconstruction, bringing the thermal stability of buildings to the existing requirements and replacing heat supply systems, re-equipping these systems for the possibility of using alternative energy sources [8,9], including passive systems [10,11]. Systems using solar energy with the use of solar collectors remain quite effective.…”

“…There are a number of works devoted to a thorough scientific examination of the methods that give the greatest effect of converting solar energy into thermal energy. Research was carried out by modeling thermal processes in systems with solar collectors [12][13][14][15], as well as through wide-parameter experimental studies [10,[17][18][19][20]. Modern designs of solar collectors make it pos30the type of solar collector and its technical characteristics necessary for heat supply systems should be made on the basis of comparison and in-depth analysis [21][22][23][24].…”

“…The Trombe wall is easy to install, it does not require additional management and can significantly save energy. These designs are often explored in the warm season as well, assessing the possibility of enhancing natural ventilation and providing additional energy savings [50]. So, the Trombe Wall is a thermal solar collector that has several advantages compared to conventional walls: (1) high efficiency: the Trombe Wall can collect intense solar radiation and use it to raise the temperature of the air immediately behind it; this allows you to reduce heating costs and increase the efficiency of the system, (2) durability: the Trombe Wall has a long service life and requires minimal maintenance, and (3) low costs: production and installation of the Trombe Wall can be cheaper compared to conventional heating systems.…”

The proposed Trombe wall design is an innovative and effective solution for addressing issues related to building energy efficiency. The Trombe wall can help reduce a building's energy consumption, provide optimal indoor temperature, and minimize the building's environmental impact by utilizing renewable energy sources.The article deals with the study of the heat-air characteristics of the Trombe Wall, which performs the functions of external protection of a modular house, with the aim of further evaluating the possibility of using it as a hybrid protection with additional heating and ventilation functions assigned to it. The results of experimental research conducted on one of the elements of external protection of a modular house in the form of the Trombe Wall are presented. The experimentally obtained graphic dependences were compared with the calculated data and the convergence was evaluated. The proposed design allows you to organize air exchange in the premises with a multiplicity within 1-1.5 h −1 , and also provides an opportunity to provide additional thermal power in the amount of 250 W/m 2 . The article presents the results of experimental studies that allow to evaluate the thermal characteristics of the proposed design of external protection for a modular house. These results indicate that with the given geometric dimensions, in particular with a volume of 14 m 3 , the thermal power utilized by the Trombe wall is within 0.2-0.7 kW.
