Abstract: Improving the indoor thermal and energy performance of residential buildings plays a significant role in the low-carbon goals of building industry. Residential buildings usually utilize the active approaches, such as air conditioning and radiant floor. A large-space residential building that removes partial second floor can employ the retractable membrane ceiling to control building indoor performance. These active approaches can be combined to ensure thermal comfort and save energy of large-space residential buildings. Therefore, this study carries out a series of experiments to quantify the individual and combined effects of retractable membrane ceiling, air conditioning and radiant floor.
