Residential building energy demand reduction in India (RESIDE)

印度住宅建筑能源需求减少项目将通过建立知识库来制定适用于印度所有五个气候带的高质量、低能耗住宅建筑规范，从而帮助改善数百万印度公民的生活条件。该项目汇集了一个由建筑师、工程师、数字科学家、城市规划师和行为研究人员组成的跨学科团队，评估住宅能源使用问题的各个方面，包括建筑织物的性能；家用电器，包括暖气、通风和空调；室内环境和居住者行为。该项目将对分布在印度5个不同气候带的2000个家庭的能源消耗进行调查和监测，以便为印度和亚太地区其他国家的政策和从业者社区建立一个新的、开放的数据库。在其中10%的家庭中，我们还将试验和评估智能家庭能源管理系统，该系统将在项目中设计，使家庭能够更好地控制他们的舒适度和能源消耗。这些活动将用于制订适合印度情况的低成本监测和入住后评价规程。这不仅将改进最佳实践，而且还允许一个框架，通过该框架可以收集一致的数据并将其添加到驻留数据库中。利用项目团队开发的新技术来评估将单个家庭措施和行动扩大到社区一级的潜力，该项目将探索并建立协议，以评估在社区范围内广泛采用能源效率和屋顶太阳能技术的潜力和可能带来的好处。通过与参与整个项目规划和建设的广泛利益相关者进行接触，并对类似国家的政策经验进行广泛审查，“居住”项目将确定印度制定新住宅建筑规范时必须考虑的关键因素。然后，在项目收集的大量数据和一系列共同设计研讨会的基础上，该项目将为新的住宅建筑规范制定拟议框架。

The RESIDE (Residential building energy demand reduction in India) project will help support the improvement of living conditions for millions of Indian citizens through establishing the knowledge base to develop a residential building code for high quality, low-energy housing across all five climatic zones in India. The project brings together an interdisciplinary team of architects, engineers, digital scientists, urban planners and behavioural researchers to assess all aspects of the residential energy use problem, including performance of the building fabric; in-home appliances including heating, ventilation and air conditioning; indoor environment and occupant behaviour.RESIDE will undertake surveys and monitoring of energy consumption in 2000 homes spread across the five different climatic zones in India in order to build up a new, open access database for policy and practitioner communities in India and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In 10% of these homes, we will also trial and evaluate a Smart Home Energy Management System, to be designed within the project, to enable householders greater control over their comfort and energy consumption.These activities will be used to develop low-cost monitoring and post-occupancy evaluation protocols suitable for the Indian situation. This will not only improve Best Practice, but allow a framework by which consistent data can be collected and added to the RESIDE database. Using novel techniques developed by the project team for assessing the potential up-scaling of individual household measures and actions to a neighbourhood level, RESIDE will explore and establish protocols for assessing the potential for, and likely benefits of, widespread take up of energy efficiency and rooftop solar technologies at a community scale.By engaging with a wide range of stakeholders involved in planning and construction throughout the project, and by undertaking an extensive review of policy experiences in similar countries, the RESIDE project will establish the key factors essential for consideration in the development of a new residential building code for India. Then, building on the extensive data collected through the project, and a set of co-design workshops, the project will develop a proposed framework for a new residential building code.
