The investigated building cases were located in four cities (Beijing, Ningbo, Nanjing and Shenzhen) of three architecture thermotechnical design zones (cold zone, hot summer and cold winter zone, hot summer and warm winter zone). The analysis indicates that the energy consumption index (ECI) of these four cases ranges from 41.06 to 74.23kW.h/(m^2.a). Besides, the outdoor climate can change the EC of air conditioning/ heating systems, and further determine the monthly volatility of the total EC of the whole building.展开更多
