Research on the Mahoney Tables Used in Shanghai Building Energy Efficiency Design
Abstract
The Mahoney tables are a set of reference tables used in architecture, used as a guide to climate-appropriate design. In order to research the Shanghai building energy saving design strategy, the paper studies the Shanghai building with the method of Mahoney tables combined with Shanghai meteorological data, and puts forward a series of building energy efficiency design strategies for Shanghai climate characteristics. Finally, according to the climatic characteristics of Shanghai and the residents’ living characteristics, the limitations of strategies proposed by the Mahoney tables were analyzed.
