Carbon emissions inevitably will increase to some extent with economic expansion and rising energy consumption. We introduce a gray theory of quantitative analysis of the energy consumption of residential buildings in Chongqing,China,on the impact of carbon emission factors. Three impacts are analyzed,namely per capita residential housing area,domestic water consumption and the rate of air conditioner ownership per 100 urban households. The gray prediction model established using the Chongqing carbon emission-residential building energy consumption forecast model is sufficiently accurate to achieve a measure of feasibility and applicability.展开更多

It not only threatens the lack of total energy but also hardens the progress of protecting environment. Therefore, it forces the country to accelerate finding substitution application of conventional energy in building, renewable energy building utilization. In base of 2010, this study explores the potential of the renewable energy building utilization by using energy consumption analysis until 2030 and predicts annual alternative quantity of renewable energy in different situations.展开更多
