摘要：The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of preliminary
design decisions such as building shape and orientation on its heating
demand. After analysing plans of forty student dormitories located in heating
dominated climate (Dfb and Cfb), eight typical plan layouts were identified
and chosen for further analysis. Eight buildings were modelled using these
plans and uploaded to dynamic simulation tool, Sefaira. Buildings have the
same characteristics (surface, height, thermal properties, location etc.).
The next step was to rotate the buildings at 45° intervals and simulate the
annual heating demand for each case. The results show that the shape
influences the heating energy consumption. The difference between
minimum and maximum heating demand in the chosen sample was 50%.
The square – shaped buildings have advantages in terms of heating energy
consumption over L, U and C-shaped buildings as well as over rectangles
with different shape factor. Orientation does not substantially influence the
consumption in well insulated buildings. Last step of the research was
to analyse the influence of functional layout on heating energy and internal
comfort in a square-shaped building.
