China's Design Standard for Energy Efficiency of Public Buildings (the Design Standard) is widely used in the design phase to regulate the energy efficiency of physical assets (envelope, lighting, HVAC) in buildings. However, the standard does not consider many important factors that influence the actual energy use in buildings, and this can lead to gaps between the design estimates and actual energy consumption. To achieve the national energy savings targets defined in the strategic 12

“…Japan has been using the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environment Efficiency (CASBEE) [4] as the evaluation system for green buildings. As countries all over the world have dedicated many resources to the development of green buildings [5], Taiwan has also implemented the Energy Conservation Design of Building Regulation, and passed 598 applications from 2000 to 2011. This Regulation was published with a series of Technical Codes complied with 9 books [6,7].…”

ABSTRACT：The concept of a "green building" was first introduced to Taiwan in 1999, and began to develop regulations for the design and evaluation of energy-saving buildings. The Ratio of Equivalent Transparency (Req) is a basic index for assessing whether a building is energy-efficient. Req is the ratio of the area of total building envelope and the area of envelope equivalent transparency. Calculation of Req requires not simply the consideration of natural factors such as building location, direction, ambient lighting and sunshine, but also and physical factors such as material, structure, ventilation and sunshade. Furthermore, Req is considered particularly applicable due to the ubiquity of terraced houses in Taiwan, given the country's high population density. In this study, the correction factor to include the effect of party walls is added into the formula of Req calculation to prevent distortions to the area calculation of the building envelope. Current practices in Taiwan of manually calculating Req render the results prone to error, and are also time-consuming. To address these issues, this research developed a visual Req calculation tool based on a 3D environment. This system provides users with various visualization tools to view the status and Req results of the building project. Furthermore, object-oriented modeling and parametric design can shorten the time taken to look-up tables and simplify the process of Req calculation, and also help to reduce computation time and errors.

“…Once institutionalized, however, a code can be revised, strengthening the standards for efficiency and encouraging more widespread use of energy-eff icient equipment and design practices. Both mandatory and voluntary codes have been adopted in developing and transitioning countries (Janda and Busch, 1994). Energy codes for new buildings are discussed further in Chapter 7.…”
