英文摘要 | Buildings are a major source of anthropogenic heat emissions, impacting energy use and human health in cities. The difference in magnitude and time lag between building energy consumption and building anthropogenic heat emission is poorly quantified. Energy consumption (Q(EC)) is a widely used proxy for the anthropogenic heat flux from buildings (Q(F,B)). Here we revisit the latter's definition. If Q(F,B) is the heat emission to the outdoor environment from human activities within buildings, we can derive it from the changes in energy balance fluxes between occupied and unoccupied buildings. Our derivation shows that the difference between Q(EC )and Q(F,B) is attributable to a change in the storage heat flux induced by human activities (Delta So-uo) (i.e. Q(F,B) = Q(EC) - Delta So-uo). Using building energy simulations (EnergyPlus) we calculate the energy balance fluxes for a simplified isolated building (obtaining Q(F,B), Q(EC), Delta So-uo) with different occupancy states. The non-negligible differences in diurnal patterns between Q(F,B) and Q(EC) are caused by thermal storage (e.g. hourly Q(F,B) to Q(EC) ratios vary between -2.72 and 5.13 within a year in Beijing, China). Negative Q(F,B) can occur as human activities can reduce heat emission from a building but this is associated with a large storage heat flux. Building operations (e.g. opening windows, use of space heating and cooling system) modify the Q(F,B) by affecting not only Q(EC) but also the Delta So-uo diurnal profile. Air temperature and solar radiation are critical meteorological factors explaining day-to-day variability of Q(F,B). Our new approach could be used to provide data for future parameterisations of both anthropogenic heat flux and storage heat fluxes from buildings. It is evident that storage heat fluxes in cities could also be impacted by occupant behaviour. |
