Evaluation the effects of energy saving and carbon reduction by using decorative wood composite panels

Wood is a kind of good interior decorative materials, it has low thermal conductivity, poor heat transferring ability, and good thermal insulation performance. Using wood pannels as interior materials will reduce energy consumation, so as to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the thermal insulation performance of different materials by ASTM C-1363 hotbox method, the study was also to invastigate the condition effects on temperature and humidity of living environment. Results show that the temperature conditioning efficiency(TCE) of wood-decorated room is about 0.54, TCE of nondecorated room is higher than wood-decorated room, indicated that using wood composite walls as interior decorative materials will help the temperature conditioning. Results also show that wood-decorated room was estimated to reduce CO2 emission by 1.36kg daily.木材是一类优质的室内装饰材料，其导热系数低、传热能力弱，具备优异的隔热保温性能。采用木质板材作为室内装饰材料可降低能源消耗，进而减少二氧化碳排放量。本研究旨在通过ASTM C-1363热箱法（ASTM C-1363 hotbox method）探究不同材料的隔热保温性能，同时分析环境条件对居住环境温湿度的影响。研究结果表明：装饰有木质板材的房间的温度调节效率（Temperature Conditioning Efficiency，TCE）约为0.54；未装饰木质板材的房间的TCE高于木质装饰房间，这说明采用木质复合墙板作为室内装饰材料有助于温度调节。研究同时显示，木质装饰房间每日可减少二氧化碳排放量约1.36千克。
