Abstract

In response to the current lack of regional climate zoning studies that focus on low-carbon technologies aimed at maximizing solar energy utilization, this study investigates climate zoning for suitable low-carbon technologies in low-rise residential buildings in solar-enriched areas through an integrated methodological approach. Employing theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, this study establishes a novel climate zoning framework predicated on three cardinal indicators： heating degree-hours, annual cumulative solar irradiation, and the ratio of south-facting radiation to heating degree-hours during the coldest month. Subsequently, we developed a building performance simulation model for low-rise residential buildings using the TRNSYS platform to quantitatively evaluate the applicability of three technology categories across different climate zones： 1） building systems （incorporating direct-gain fenestration systems, Trombe walls, and attached sunspaces）, 2） energy consumption systems （featuring air-source heat pumps）, and 3） energy supply systems （comprising rooftop photovoltaic arrays and solar thermal collectors）, with consideration of both carbon mitigation potential and decarbonization costs.
