A new approach, based on the inverse problem and variation method, for solving building energy and environment problems: Preliminary study and illustrative examples

摘要

Building energy systems consume increasing amounts of energy and emit many pollutants (e.g., NOx, PM2.5) and CO2 into the atmosphere. The problems of air pollution are very serious in China due to the very rapid urbanization and economic development over the past few decades and the fact that most of the primary energy comes from coal in China. In addition, China is facing serious indoor air quality problems caused by various pollutants with both indoor and outdoor origins. These pollutants have been found to be associated with certain diseases. The questions of increasing the energy efficiency of building energy systems and of how to effectively control temperature, humidity and pollutant concentrations in indoor air in an energy efficient way are two great challenges in the field of building energy and environment in China.
