Diagram of outpatient area In the simulation, the length and width of the outpatient area are kept unchanged, and the width of the peripheral zone changes. The width of the peripheral zone is increased from 1.3m to 8.5m, rising 0.6m per step, taking 13 different values. Considering the different occupant density in different periods when the building was used, the total number of occupants in outpatient area is from 200 to 450, rising 50 per step, taking 6 different values. Therefore, 78 simulations were executed to obtain the energy consumption values of outpatient areas under 78 different conditions. Through regression analysis of the 78 simulated data, the regression model of the width of the peripheral zone, the occupant density in outpatient area and the energy consumption per area are obtained.

In outpatient area of medical buildings, the distribution of people and energy consumption are significantly different when the space form scale changes. To obtain the simulation results of energy consumption under different occupant densities and different space forms, then establish a predictive regression model which can quantify the influence o...

... outpatient area is located in the northwest corner of the hospital, mainly divided into two parts: the inner zone and the peripheral zone. As shown in figure 1, the peripheral zone refers to the area close to the facade of the building, its thermal environment is more vulnerable to the impact of the external environment, while the inner zone IOP Conf.

This paper incorporates two important characteristics of clay, namely, its rate-dependent and strain softening behavior, into a theoretical framework based on cavity expansion. The modified Tresca model for clay proposed by Einav and Randolph is selected to describe the effects of the rate dependency and gradual softening of clay as it is sheared a...
