Establishing an HVAC design mechanism for building energy efficiency

Enumerates some phenomena of the design mechanism unaccommodated to building energy efficiency in China. Proposes a series of possible reforms, such as applying integrated resource planning (IRP) in master plan, establishing an interdisciplinary charrette system, using building energy simulation techniques to perform energy trade-off in design phase, setting up building commissioning mechanism, and introducing performance contracting system to design charge, in order to improve our HVAC design level in building energy efficiency.
