“…All types of energy are converted into equivalent power consumption according to the Classification and Presentation of Civil Building Energy Use (GB/T 34913-2017) [46]. Energy consumption of the high-speed railway station is different from that of the previous stations [29,42]. The annual total energy consumption of the high-speed railway stations ranges from 20 × 106 to 60 × 10 6 kWh.…”

“…For example, for wooden buildings, the use of environmental materials will increase the good impression of the internal environment [27,28]. Railway station buildings have a wider acceptable temperature range due to a shorter stay time than office buildings, but the design parameters of public buildings are still used in domestic design codes, which will cause energy waste [29].Most studies of the light environment relied on subjective surveys. Light environment is influenced by the parameters including human activity, light intensity, and lighting design of buildings [30,31].…”

In recent years, the energy performance of public buildings has attracted substantial attention due to the significant energy-saving potential. As a semi-open high-space building, the high-speed railway station is obviously different from other public buildings and even traditional stations in terms of energy consumption and internal environment. This paper investigates the current energy consumption situation and environmental quality of 15 high-speed railway passenger stations in China. Results show that the energy consumption of the high-speed railway station is between 117–470 kWh/(m2·a). The energy consumption of the station is related to the area and the passenger flow. The energy use of the station using district heating is higher than that of the station without district heating in the same region. The higher glazing ratio induces good natural lighting in the station, but the uniformity of the lighting in the station is not good. The acceptable temperature range of passengers in winter is larger than that in summer. The average air change rate of the high-speed railway station is 3.2 h−1 in winter and 1.8 h−1 in summer, which is the main reason of high energy consumption of the HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system in this kind of building.

“…Song et al [11] investigated the energy consumption of 36 railway stations in north China, and found that the average annual energy consumption per unit area of the high, medium and low grade railway stations was 423 kWh/m 2 , 222 kwh/m 2 and 101 kwh/m 2 . Huang et al [12] studied the thermal comfort of the waiting room of a railway station in Harbin. Balaras et al [13] investigated the energy consumption of 29 airport terminal buildings in three climatic zones in Greece, and obtained that the annual energy consumption per unit area of each climatic zone was 376.0kWh/(m2•a), 244.6kWh/(m2•a) and 168.3kWh/(m2•a).…”

Port passenger station buildings (PPSD) are an important part of transportation buildings in China, which is characterized by large human flow, long operating time, high load of equipment and lighting. The characteristics and functions of PPSD lead to the high energy consumption. However, the energy consumption analysis of PPSD was deficient. In this paper, the characteristics of energy consumption of port passenger stations in cold regions and hot summer and warm winter regions in China were analyzed. Based on eQUEST, the building models of port passenger stations are established. The influencing factors of the building energy consumption were analyzed through orthogonal experiment with SPSS. Results show that the factors such as summer indoor design temperature, heat source form, air conditioning form, window to wall ratio and lighting control mode are the key factors affecting the energy consumption of port passenger station.

“…Existing studies have examined the performance and resilience of buildings to various weather conditions (Adekunle, 2017;Rijal et al, 2007;Kendrick and Walliman, 2007;Yin et al, 2010). Some of the existing papers have considered field measurements of variables in different seasons such as Summer (Fato et al, 2004;Sakka et al, 2010;Rijal et al, 2015;Adekunle, 2018b) and Winter (Adekunle and Nikolopoulou, 2019) seasons under various climatic conditions like cold (Huang and Lin, 2017), temperate (Adekunle, 2017;Taleghani et al, 2014) including Mediterranean (Fato et al, 2004;Sakka et al, 2010), hot and humid climates (Rijal et al, 2015;Han et al, 2007;Djamila et al, 2013). The studies considered field measurements to gather first-hand data from buildings (Sakka et al, 2010;Rijal et al, 2015;Adekunle, 2018b;Taleghani et al, 2014), while some studies used field measurements to generate reliable data for calibration and validation of simulated data (Adekunle, 2017;Adekunle and Nikolopoulou, 2019;Christensen et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the Summer performance, comfort, and heat stress in structural timber buildings. The research utilises building simulation as a tool to investigate the performance of the case study buildings under non-extreme weather conditions. Design/methodology/approach The research explores three UK sites using the test reference year (TRY) weather files for the current and future weather conditions. The study focuses on the Summer performance and heat stress in non-extreme weather conditions; therefore, the Design Summer Year (DSY) weather files are not used for the simulations. The simulation data are calibrated and validated using the measured data from the field study. Findings The results revealed the mean predicted temperatures varied from 20.2–20.8°C for the 2000s. The mean temperatures for the 2030s ranged from 23.1 to 24.2°C. Higher temperatures are predicted at the buildings in the Southeast site than the Midlands and the Northwest sites. The results revealed that there is no significant improvement in the thermal environment when the floor area and the floor-to-ceiling height are increased. However, the study showed that the integration of different design interventions can improve the future performance and resilience of the buildings in various weather conditions. Research limitations/implications By applying the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and the Universal Thermal Comfort Index (UTCI) mathematical models to calculate the heat stress at the buildings, the study proposes the WBGT of 20.0°C and the UTCI of 24.1°C as possible heat stress indicators for occupants of the buildings in the 2030s. Practical implications On the one hand, the results revealed the maximum temperatures in some of the case study buildings exceed the comfort threshold (28°C). On the other hand, the study showed that occupants of the buildings are not prone to extreme Summertime overheating and heat stress under moderate weather conditions. However, different outcomes may be predicted if DSY weather files for the selected sites are considered. Originality/value This study is the first reported work to explore building simulation and mathematical equations to investigate Summer performance, comfort and heat stress indexes in timber buildings under moderate weather conditions in different regional sites in the UK.
