Although practice has proven that ultra-low energy buildings can greatly reduce energy consumption, it is still difficult to promote ultra-low energy buildings in the Hot Summer and Cold Winter Climate Zone of China.
To vigorously promote ultra-low and net-zero energy consumption buildings, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) of China issued the “Passive Ultra-low Energy Consumption Technical Guidelines” in 2015 , which led to the trend of the development of ULEBs.
Besides, according to calculation, the energy consumption of the benchmark scheme of the ultra-low energy housing adopting a “full space and continuous energy use behavior” is 8.6 kWh/m 2 (with reference to GBT 51350 [ 8 ]), with an incremental cost of 105.13 yuan/m 2.
Ultra-Low-Energy Buildings set more ambitious energy efficiency standards, using the most-energy-efficient components and systems available to reduce the energy consumption. This energy consumption should preferably be covered by renewable energy sources such as solar energy, ambient and geothermal energy, sustainable biomass etc.
Established ultra-low energy buildings standards, such as the Passivhaus, are based on operational conditions of “full space and continuous-time” for heating and cooling [ 14 ], which do not correspond to typical energy-use behavior in China.
This is taken as the threshold of the technical parameters of ultra-low energy housing; namely, its technical parameters are used as the optimized benchmark values, including the minimum insulation thicknesses of north wall, west wall, east wall and roof at 0.07 m, 0.09 m, 0.09 m and 0.06 m, respectively.
New standard for ultra-low carbon solar modules released
The GEC developed two levels of emissions standards: low carbon and ultra-low carbon (ULCS). To meet the low carbon standard, a solar module, including its frame, must have an embodied carbon footprint equal to or less than 630 kg CO 2 e/kWp. To meet the ULCS standard, a module''s footprint must be at or below 400 kg CO 2 e/kWp.
