STUDY ON GREEN BUILDING OF ‘CITY CAVE DWELLING’

Research on ‘city cave dwelling’ is based on requests of green construction and employs the traditional ‘Chinese soil dwelling’. Through the development of highly-efficiency and energy-saving insulation materials and rational design/construction, the traditional ‘Chinese soil dwelling’ is applied in buildings of modern city and a new type of green patent building with fabulous energy consumption is constructed. A series of experiments and researches were carried out such as highly-efficiency and energy-saving building materials of Glazed Hollow Beads, design, construction, humidity and temperature tests, theoretical calculation and simulation of anti-seismic performance of integrated thermal insulation building. Via theoretical analysis, experiment and testing of practical projects, it is demonstrated that ‘city cave dwelling’ is prominent in comfortableness, energy-saving, land-efficiency, low weight, high strength and anti-seismic performances.
