Abstract: Countries around the world have developed standards for ultra-low energy consumption building design and future plans. Unfortunately, these standards lack specific requirements for industrial heritage. As an important carrier of urban context, history, and the transmission of residents’ memories, industrial heritage cannot be overlooked in urban development. This study uses DesignBuilder energy simulation software to model industrial heritage (taking the Changchun Tractor Factory as an example) and compares the energy consumption before and after renovation strategies. The results show that in the Case 4 plan, after implementing the renovation strategy, heating energy consumption can be reduced by about 11,648 (kWh/m 2 ) over the heating season, the total primary energy was reduced by about 4 million (kgce/tce), and total energy consumption decreases by approximately 95%. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the industrial heritage reuse design strategy proposed in this paper. It provides a new direction for reuse design under ultra-low energy consumption requirements in related case studies.
