Abstract :
In order to generalize the passive solar building at high altitudes, the outdoor meteorological data and the indoor temperature were tested in Tibet Saga, the elevation is about 4700m. The results showed that the climate is very suitable for passive solar heating, and the passive solar energy can solve the heating problems in the daytime, but the indoor temperature is very low at night, people will be frostbitten. The building dynamic energy simulation software, Energyplus, was used to simulate the indoor temperature. The numerical simulation results and experimental results are compared, and the comparison showed that the simulation results by Energyplus are reliable. Through redesign the building and the choice of the supplementary heat source, the indoor temperature and the concentration of CO2 were in equilibrium.
