Enhancing energy efficiency in shipping container house:A novel approach using hybrid louver systemsOA
Reusing shipping containers for residential purposes offers a promising approach to address global energy consumption challenges from economic and environmental perspectives.This study parametrically designed hybrid louver shadings by combining fixed vertical triangular slats with variable-depth horizontal rectangular slats,offering a novel approach to shading prefabricated buildings.The energy consumption,daylighting performance,and visual comfort were assessed for various shading configurations.Results indicated that implementing the proposed hybrid louvers,featuring fixed vertical triangular slats and variable-depth horizontal rectangular slats,significantly reduced Energy Use Intensity(EUI)to 133.95 kWh/m2.Moreover,Useful daylight illuminance(UDI),Daylight Autonomy(DA),and Glare Autonomy(GA)values improved to 95.38%,89.97%,and 91.16%,respectively.The study highlighted the potential of the proposed shading system to significantly reduce overall energy consumption across various ASHRAE climate zones,including Miami(1A),Guangzhou(2A),Melbourne(3C),Esperance(3C),San Diego(3A),and Milan(4A).Notably,energy reductions of up to 50.2%were projected for climates such as Miami(1A)and San Diego(3A).Furthermore,container buildings in warm climate zones exhibited a significantly lower EUI range of 76.58 to 91.95 kWh/m².This study underscores the transformative potential of hybrid louver systems in promoting the widespread adoption of sustainable residential architecture,contributing to global sustainability efforts.
