Effect of the spatial form of outpatient buildings on energy consumption in different climate zones in China.

ABSTRACT: Under the influence of global epidemics and the need for urban expansion, many outpatient buildings have been rapidly constructed, but the problem of high energy consumption has been neglected. There is a lack of research on the impact of outpatient building forms on energy consumption in different climate zones. Many studies have demonstrated that the energy consumption of a given building can be greatly reduced by adopting a reasonable spatial form design at the early stages of design. Therefore, if architects choose a reasonable spatial form, this could effectively reduce energy consumption. In this study, outpatient building cases in China were summarized, and three typical spatial forms were proposed: the centralized, corridor, and courtyard forms. The DesignBuilder tool was used to s
