A Study to the Application of Energy-saving Measures in Urban Residential Buildings

Energy saving in urban residential buildings is one of the essential means for implementing and promoting low carbon living environment and sustainable urban development. Therefore, adopting effective energy saving measures is very important. Various energy saving technologies have been developed and progressively applied to residential buildings particularly in urban areas. Nevertheless, it appears that little has been investigated on the effectiveness of these technologies in practice. In this paper, taking Chongqing as an example, questionnaire survey was carried out among relevant experts, considering energy-saving measures of residential building. It was aimed to understand the application level of various energy-saving measures in urban residential building. Based on the questionnaire survey results, it discussed the deficiencies of energy-saving measures in urban residential building, and the results would provide important reference material for further research to improve the residential building's energy-saving.
